A Personal extension for C++ projects.

(currently still under heavy development and just tested with linux)

Handle C++ projects are always difficult (since C++ is powerful and with too many options) ...

In order to setup C++ projects fast and in order to easily get :

  • packages dependency graph
  • targets dependency graph
  • preview of doxygen documentation
  • cppchecks
  • style guide checks
  • guide lines checks
  • project templates
  • much more ...

I transformed my "cheat sheet and knowledge" into an VS Code extension.

This extension shall combine :

  • conan for packages
  • cmake for build
  • cppcheck for static code checks before build
  • doxygen for documentation (including execution flow)
  • metrix with Metrix++

The default way is :

  1. generate new project
  • commands : "CPS - Import default template" + "CPS - New Project"
  • look : new project
  1. import packages (including header files)
  • command : "CPS - Import depending packages"
  • look : new project
  1. install packages and build (cppcheck to detect errors before)
  • commands : "CPS - Install Packages" + "CPS - Build project"
  • look : new project
  1. create package and test (choose Debug build type for "walking" through your tests)
  • command : "CPS - Create Package and Test"
  • look : new project

P.S. Until I have a proper logo - i use the Iso C++ Logo
