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 significantly rewritten, restructured and refreshed with latest additions to CMake, such as support of C++20 Modules. 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 profi ciency in exporting, installing, and packaging for internal and external purposes. By the end of this book, you'll be able to use CMake confi dently at a professional level.

Prior to going through this book, I had no idea that CMake is all but a programming language unto itself. This book goes over a ton of information with lots of examples on things like testing. How to use test frameworks with CMake. How to use analysis tools for both performance and safety using CMake. Generating documentation with CMake. I didn't even know CMake could do these things, but this book has an entire section for each of these topics. It's quite a lot to take in at once, but it's going to be a great reference to have on the shelf to come back to when I have questions. Highly recommended if you're finding CMake confusing.

Disclaimer: I received a free review copy.But I liked it so much, I actually ordered a physical copy as well.I'm using CMake for many years already to build my C and C++ projects.Over the years a lot of things changed. A lot of things became easier with CMake,but CMake also became more powerful.So I was thrilled, when I saw this book. Reading through it, I found it to be a rather complete manualto everything CMake has to offer. There was a lot of information about functionality,that I had either only heard about, or didn't even know exists.I think the book handles both pretty well:As a beginner, reading it from the start, will give a good introduction of what CMake is, what it does, how it integrates with other tools and what best practices are.For experienced users it can act as a reference, whenever you find yourself in a situation, where you are unsure how to do something.

I enjoyed the read having recently picked up CMake. This book is well structured and comprehensive, giving practical examples of how to get started. Each chapter is broken down into bite size chunks that are easy to follow and grasp.

Neil Jul 03, 2024

Disclosure: I was provided an early review copy at no expense but these opinions are my own.I've used CMake for several years and know enough to generally make it do what I need it to do. That being said, there's always more to learn. This book is a fantastic resource for a number of reasons.1. It starts from an introductory level with very few assumptions of your current knowledge.2. There are a number of side-notes and tips for best practices that can help provide context for deeper understanding.3. It goes beyond introductory tutorials and explains deeper concepts before ending with a solid summary chapter project.By building on a foundation of basics piece by piece all the way to more complicated topics -- with chapters explaining concepts that I didn't know even after using CMake for years -- I anticipate that this book would be a solid roadmap for beginners to learn how to start effectively using CMake in their projects and for the proficient to at least learn something new.

I recently read Modern CMake for C++, Second Edition and was thoroughly impressed. Despite considering myself highly technical and knowledgeable in CMake, I still learned a plethora of new information. The book covers a wide range of topics, from debugging a CMake project, understanding the grammar, targets, and package management like FetchContent, to using CMake in advanced IDEs.One of the standout aspects of this book is its guidance on properly setting up a project. It emphasizes good practices, what to focus on when building a project, the hierarchy, and various gotchas to avoid. The book even delves into the linking models of C and C++ and how to handle them correctly in CMake.This book is a must-read for every developer using CMake. By following the rules and best practices outlined, it will make your project healthier. Regardless of your experience level, you are bound to pick up new skills. The format and organization of this book are simply fabulous, making it highly recommended.
