Modern CMake for C++ : Effortlessly build cutting-edge C++ code and deliver high-quality solutions, 2/e (Paperback) (現代 CMake 與 C++：輕鬆構建尖端 C++ 代碼並提供高品質解決方案，第二版 (平裝本))

Gain proficiency in CMake and unlock the complete potential of C++ to develop exceptional projects

Key Features:

Get to grips with CMake and take your C++ development skills to enterprise standardsUse hands-on exercises and self-assessment questions to lock-in your learningUnderstand how to build in an array of quality checks and tests for robust code

Book Description:

Modern CMake for C++ isn't just another reference book, or a repackaging of the documentation, but a blueprint to bridging the gap between learning C++ and being able to use it in a professional setting. It's an end-to-end guide to the automation of complex tasks, including building, testing, and packaging software.

This second edition is updated to the latest version of the CMake tooling suite, featuring three new chapters and an additional appendix dedicated to CMake presets.

In this book, you'll not only learn how to use the CMake language in CMake projects, but also discover how to make those projects maintainable, elegant, and clean. As you progress, you'll dive into the structure of source directories, building targets, and packages, all while learning how to compile and link executables and libraries. You'll also gain a deeper understanding of how those processes work, and how to optimize builds in CMake for the best results.

You'll discover how to use external dependencies in your project - third-party libraries, testing frameworks, program analysis tools, and documentation generators. Finally, you'll gain proficiency in exporting, installing, and packaging for internal and external purposes.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to use CMake confidently at a professional level.

What You Will Learn:
