# Modern C++ Course (Basics → C++26)
|
||||
|
||||
A hands-on C++ course with **56 Google Test exercises** organized into **14 modules**, from your first functions to modern standard-library features.
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- **CMake** 3.20+
|
||||
- **C++ compiler** with C++23 support for later modules
|
||||
- Apple Clang 15+, GCC 13+, or MSVC 19.34+ recommended
|
||||
- **CLion** (recommended) or any CMake-aware IDE
|
||||
- Internet access on first configure (Google Test is fetched automatically)
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start (CLion)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open this folder in CLion (`File → Open…`).
|
||||
2. CLion detects `CMakeLists.txt` and configures automatically.
|
||||
3. Pick an exercise target (e.g. `01_fundamentals_hello_world`) in the run configuration dropdown.
|
||||
4. Implement the TODOs in the matching `src/*.cpp` file.
|
||||
5. Run the test target until all assertions pass.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start (Terminal)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
|
||||
cmake --build build
|
||||
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run a single exercise:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cmake --build build --target 01_fundamentals_hello_world
|
||||
./build/modules/01_fundamentals/01_fundamentals_hello_world
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cppc/

||||

|

|

|
||||
└── 14_cpp26/ # Frontier / C++26 direction
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each module contains:
|
||||
|
||||
- `README.md` — learning goals and exercise list
|
||||
- `include/` — function and class declarations (your contract)
|
||||
- `src/` — **your implementation** (start here)
|
||||
- `test/` — Google Test files (do not edit unless extending)
|
||||
|
||||
## How to Study
|
||||
|
||||
1. Read the module `README.md`.
|
||||
2. Open the exercise header to understand the required API.
|
||||
3. Implement TODOs in the corresponding `src/` file.
|
||||
4. Run that exercise’s test target in CLion or via CTest.
|
||||
5. Move to the next exercise only when tests pass.

## CMake Options
|
||||
|
||||
| Option | Default | Description |
|
||||
|--------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `COURSE_BUILD_TESTS` | ON | Build Google Test exercise targets |
|
||||
| `COURSE_WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS` | OFF | Treat warnings as errors |
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cmake -S . -B build -DCOURSE_WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS=ON
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## CLion Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- Use **Run | Run…** and filter by module prefix (e.g. `12_cpp20`).
|
||||
- Enable **Google Test** integration in CLion to see individual tests in the tree view.
|
||||
- Set breakpoints in your `src/` implementation while debugging failing tests.
|
||||
- `compile_commands.json` is exported for clangd/clang-tidy if you use external tools.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes on C++26
|
||||
|
||||
C++26 is still in active standardization. Module 14 focuses on techniques and library directions that remain relevant—deep `constexpr`, monadic `expected`, ranges pipelines, and `std::formatter`—using C++23 as the practical baseline.

Happy learning!
