A repository that serves as a template for C++ projects that want to use modern CMake
Contact: [email protected]
A sample repository that serves as a starting point for C++ projects. It contains a sample application ("app1") and a sample library ("lib1") that both have initial benchmark and testing fixtures setup.
This also comes with a .gitignore file that ignores if the user creates a build directory in the root folder for CMake usage.
Clone this repository, change into the directory and issue:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
You can also issue make test and make package to run tests or package up the project respectively.
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
app1 |
Root folder of sample app |
cmake |
Location of "extra" cmake files |
docs |
Folder for any documentation |
lib1 |
Root folder of sample library |
scripts |
Folder for any scripts |
Inside the sample app and library is the same directory structure:
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── include
│ └── app1
│ └── common.hpp
├── src
│ ├── common.cpp
│ └── main.cpp
└── test
├── bench
│ ├── CMakeLists.txt
│ └── sample_bench.cpp
├── CMakeLists.txt
└── unit
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── main.cpp
└── sample_test.cpp
Headers are located under the include/(app1|lib1) folder with corresponding source files under src.
There must always be a pair of source and header files with the exception of main.cpp
This is because the CMakeLists in the root of the app adds in source files only (which pulls in the header files). test contains both the unit tests and benchmarks. Either of which can be disabled by turning the corresponding CMake options off.
