Integrating C++ Code Generation Into a Large CMake Build

Explore the challenges and solutions for integrating C++ code generation tools into large-scale CMake builds in this conference talk from ACCU 2024. Learn how Bloomberg optimized their service-oriented architecture by implementing code generation for stub services and client libraries. Discover the decision-making process between configure-time and build-time code generation, techniques for ensuring fast and consistent incremental builds, and methods for measuring, testing, and rolling out code generation changes across a vast codebase. Gain insights into improving developer experience and build performance while simplifying the process of writing and calling services in a complex software ecosystem.
