Cpp Boilerplate

Overview

The cpp-boilerplate is a contemporary framework designed for C++ projects, offering a seamless experience by integrating essential tools such as CMake and Conan. Currently in its v2 branch, this boilerplate is under active development, aiming to streamline project setups and enhance productivity for developers. While it's still a work in progress, its modern features and architecture promise significant improvements in managing C++ applications.

With a focus on dependency management and build efficiency, cpp-boilerplate is tailored to meet the demands of developers who prefer working with robust tools and practices. Its design encourages clean and maintainable code, making it an appealing option for developers seeking a reliable starting point for C++ projects.

Features

• CMake Integration: Built with CMake, this boilerplate allows for easy configuration and management of C++ projects, streamlining the build process.
• Dependency Management with Conan: Unlike traditional methods, v2 uses Conan for dependency management, simplifying library management and version control.
• Multi-Compiler Support: It supports various compilers, including g++ and clang, with specific versions specified for optimal compatibility and performance.
• Customizable Build Options: Users can define a range of build options directly through CMake, allowing for tailored builds based on project needs.
• Enforced Code Quality: The inclusion of clang-tidy as an enforced check helps maintain code quality and standards throughout development.
• Up-to-date CMake Requirements: Enforcing a minimum CMake version of 3.9 ensures compatibility with modern C++ features and reduces potential issues with legacy setups.
• Testing Options: Users can easily configure whether to include tests in their builds, facilitating better project management and testing practices.
• Work In Progress Status: As an evolving project, cpp-boilerplate is continuously being enhanced, promising new features and fixes in future releases.
