Standard C++ Toolset: Ecosystem and Evolution

Explore the evolving standard toolset for C++ in this comprehensive conference talk from Meeting C++ 2022. Delve into the essential components of modern programming language ecosystems, including compilers, debuggers, static analyzers, build systems, dependency managers, and unit testing frameworks. Examine how C++'s toolset has developed over its 40-year history, comparing it to other languages like Ruby and Swift. Investigate the impact of Clang on various aspects of C++ development, from compilers to formatters and IDEs. Learn about the diverse range of code analyzers available for C++ and their areas for improvement. Discover effective unit testing and code coverage solutions, and gain insights into how the language committee is adapting to support toolset contributors. Acquire a comprehensive understanding of the tools at your disposal for developing complex C++ solutions without struggling with toolset complexities.
