What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides comprehensive guidance and patterns for developing robust, efficient, and modern C++ applications, covering language features, build systems, and toolchains.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Modern C++ Features: Explores C++11-23 features like smart pointers, move semantics, concepts, and ranges.
- Build System Configuration: Offers patterns for CMake, including modern CMake practices and dependency management.
- Toolchain & Best Practices: Details compiler flags, static analysis with clang-tidy, code formatting with clang-format, and testing frameworks like GoogleTest and Catch2.
- Use Case: A developer needs to refactor legacy C++ code to leverage modern features for better performance and safety, while also ensuring the project is buildable across different platforms using CMake and adheres to established coding standards.
Quick Start
Use the C++ Ecosystem skill to generate a CMakeLists.txt file for a new C++20 project with GoogleTest integration.
