Have a look at github.com/DerThorsten/cpptools <https://github.com/DerThorsten/cpptools>
_, an
unmodified example project created with this cpp_cookiecutter.
Current features include:
* Readme on readthedocs.org <https://cpp-cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>
_
* Modern C++ 14
* Build system with modern CMake
* preconfigured conda recipe included <https://cpp-cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/conda_recipe.html>
_
* Rendered projects have pre-configured CI scripts for: travis-ci circleci and azure-pipelines
* Rendering of projects itself is tested on several continuous integration plattforms as travis-ci <https://travis-ci.org/DerThorsten/cpp_cookiecutter>
_ circleci <https://circleci.com/gh/DerThorsten/cpp_cookiecutter/tree/master>
_ and azure-pipelines <https://dev.azure.com/derthorstenbeier/cpp_cookiecutter/_build/latest?definitionId=1&branchName=master>
_
* C++ unit tests with cpp doctest <https://cpp-cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/unit_tests.html>
_
* Benchmark code with google benchmark <https://cpp-cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/benchmark.html>
_
* Docs with sphinx breathe and readthedocs support
* Google Benchmark <https://cpp-cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/benchmark.html>
_ and Doctest <https://cpp-cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/unit_tests.html>
_ are downloaded at cmake-config time via external-projects
since these dependencies are just for testing and benchmarking (and those are not yet available on conda)
* bumpversion
* Python bindings are created via pybind11 <https://cpp-cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python.html>
_
* An demo project github.com/DerThorsten/cpptools <https://github.com/DerThorsten/cpptools>
_ created by this cookiecutter, and automatically kept up to date via continuous integration
.. _rtd_unit_test:
Install _cookiecutter
.. code-block:: shell
$ pip install cookiecutter
After installing cookiecutter, use the cpp-cookiecutter:
.. code-block:: shell
$ cookiecutter https://github.com/DerThorsten/cpp_cookiecutter
This cookiecutter is bet used in conjunction with conda: Assuming your package is named cpptools the following script shows the usage of the generated project cookiecutter on Linux/MacOS
.. code-block:: shell
cd cpptools
conda env create -f cpptools-dev-requirements.yml
source activate cpptools-dev-requirements
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j2
make cpp-test
make python-test
cd examples
./hello_world
cd ..
cd benchmark
./benchmark_cpptools
On a windows machine this looks like:
.. code-block:: shell
cd cpptools
call activate cpptools-dev-requirements
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ^
-DDEPENDENCY_SEARCH_PREFIX="%CONDA_PREFIX%\Library" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="%CONDA_PREFIX%\Library"
call activate cpptools-dev-requirements
cmake --build . --target ALL_BUILD
cmake --build . --target python-test
cmake --build . --target cpp-test
.. code-block:: shell
cd cpptools
call activate cpptools-dev-requirements
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ^
-DDEPENDENCY_SEARCH_PREFIX="%CONDA_PREFIX%\Library" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="%CONDA_PREFIX%\Library"
call activate cpptools-dev-requirements
cmake --build . --target ALL_BUILD
cmake --build . --target python-test
cmake --build . --target cpp-test
