Some functionality documentation

How to build

You will need meson build system to be installed (on most platforms it is in the meson package).

Dependencies

You need a C++ compiler with C++17 support. Meson will point out missing dependencies.

Release build

meson setup release-build/ -Dbuildtype=release -Ddefault_library=both
ninja -C release-build/ base

Development build

meson setup build/ -Dc_args=-DDEBUG -Dcpp_args='-DDEBUG -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG' -Db_sanitize=undefined -Db_lundef=false
ninja -C build/ base

Static build

Static build is useful if you want to build executables linked statically.

meson setup static-build/ -Ddefault_library=static -Dstatic=true
ninja -C static-build/ base

Installing

Run after building:

# we will use release-build build directory, if you use other just change all release-build below
# if you want to install to default prefix
meson install -C release-build
# specifying other install directory
DESTDIR=other/install/dir/ meson install -C release-build

Running tests

ninja -C build/ test # or other build directory

Development build targets

Formating C/C++ sources

To format all sources (clang-format is required):

ninja -C build format

Linting C/C++ sources

All sources

To lint all sources:

ninja -C build tidy

or

./tidy

Specified sources

To lint specified sources:

./tidy path/to/source.cc other/source.h

Static analysis

ninja -C build scan-build
