Template project for CMake + C/C++
This is a small template project to easily setup a CMake based C/C++ project together with googletest and google benchmark
Table of contents
Quickstart
Simply clone the repository and start building demo tests and benchmarks.
git clone https://github.com/fbaeuerlein/cpp-cmake-template.git
cd cpp-cmake-template
git submodule init && git submodule update
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
To check your compiler command line calls, simply use make VERBOSE=1.
You surely don't want this repositories history. To (re)initialize it, simply do
./reinit.sh
This will clear the complete repository history by removing the .git folder. Also the submodules will be re-added and initialized.
Requirements
The requirements to build this project are derived from the build requirements of Googletest 1.11.0 and Benchmark 1.6.1. So just have a look at theirs.
To use the project version information in cmake, the minimum required version is set to 3.10.0. Remove the project version settings if you need a 2.x cmake version.
Project structure
Besides the unittest and benchmark executables no other libraries or executables are defined within the cmake configuration. So adapt the rest according to your requirements.
./
├── ext/
│ ├── benchmark/ -> submodule containing google benchmark
│ └── googletest/ -> submodule containing googletest/mock

└── test/
├── benchmark/

│ └── MyFirstBenchmark.cpp -> example implementation of a benchmark
└── unittests/
├── CMakeLists.txt -> definitions of unittest executables
└── MyFirstTest.cpp -> example implementation of unittests
Configuration
Project specific settings can be applied at the CMakeLists.txt file within the top level folder. Change the project name and compiler flags accordingly.
If you're using clang-format, update or overwrite the .clang-format file also.
