Description

This project contains an example of a C++23 project using the Zig build system inside VSCode.

• Contains an example directory layout with dummy .keep files
• Includes an example first-party library (lib.cpp) that implements a single factorial() function
• clangd, clang-format, clang-tidy for linting, formatting, and checking code
• Builds using zig cc via a build.zig file containing tons of compiler flags for safety

Usage

• Copy everything except .zig-cache and .zig-out into a new directory to start a C++ project.
• Modify folder structure and .gitignore if necessary (e.g. assets, build, data, external)
• (If necessary) Modify or remove lib.cpp and lib.hpp along with the corresponding target in zig.build
• Run zig build ccjson to generate compile_commands.json for use with clangd
• Press F5 in VSCode to build and launch the program inside a debugger to make sure nothing is broken
  • Or just run zig build
