Professional Programming Tools for C and C++: Example Code

Code samples from the book Professional Programming Tools for C and C++ by Anton Gerdelan and Katja Žibrek. The book information page is at http://antongerdelan.net/pro_programming_tools_book/.

How to use this Repository

  • This repository is split into folders, one for each code example.
  • Folders are numbered after the corresponding book chapter, and then by order of appearance within the chapter.
  • Code snippets from each chapter are put into a stand-alone program with a main() function.
  • Most examples comprise just a single file called main.c and should be straight-forward to compile with any compiler. Some examples have a main.cpp and should be compiled with a C++ compiler.
  • Some examples require command line arguments to run, such as the file name of an image to open.
  • See comments at the top of source code for further compilation and running instructions.

For example, to build the first assertions example with GCC and run it from a terminal:

cd ch01_00_assertions
gcc -o my_program main.c
./my_program

For Microsoft Visual Studio:

  • Create a new, empty, C++ console (not Desktop) project.
  • Drag the appropriate .c files into your source code tree before building.
  • When compiling, Visual Studio will prompt you to switch to its safer versions of some functions, or disable the warning.

Help, Questions, Bug Reports

Please feel free to use the Issues tab on this GitHub project to ask for help or to report bugs. If frequent questions pop up we will create a FAQ section on this README.

Contributions and Pull Requests

Please feel encouraged to make a pull request (PR) to correct or clarify code.

Some rough guidelines for making a PR:

  • Bug fixes and operating-system specific fixes are very welcome.
  • When making a PR please make sure both the PR, and the code, is commented clearly for other book readers.
  • Do not introduce code copy-pasted from elsewhere as there are licensing and copyright issues with this.
  • Please do not submit CMakeLists.txt or build scripts for the entire book or for individual chapters. There is a specific chapter dedicated to introducing build systems.
  • Please do not submit project or solution files for a particular IDE.
  • Code in examples is copy-pasted from the book. If the PR needs to modify these please add a comment to those lines indicating why the change was important.
  • Code style and language version changes are discouraged unless they fix a bug.
  • If you are happy to be added to a contributors list then please add your name, as you would like it to appear, as a bullet at the bottom of this file.
