This repository contains all material for the C++ Course taught at CERN from Sebastien Ponce (LHCb).
For each commit, the slides are compiled as a PDF and uploaded as "artifact". The GitHub docs explain how you can download the PDF.
Make sure to install the pre-commit hooks:
pip3 install pre-commit
# cd to repository
pre-commit installSpell check is performed with the codespell
pre-commit hook on every commit. To ignore words you can put them in the
codespell.txt file. This file should list the supposedly misspelled words with
one word per line and is case-sensitive.
- Prefer "east const" for new stuff.
The cheat sheet is only for mentors, with roadmap, solutions and key points to discuss.
Readmes are for students. These host the basic building instructions, give the name of the main program file, and possibly give a summary of the exercise goals and steps.
Inside the code, one gets more precise help on what should/could be done and also where (e.g. when the code is long and only one part needs to be worked on).
Each exercice should provide a solution in the solution subdirectory. For any <name>.cpp exercise, the solution should be called solution/<name>.sol.cpp.
For the time being, we maintain both a raw Makefile and a CMakeLists.txt.
The make command should work directly on any linux-like system. The make solution command should build the solution.
The cmake tool adds support for building on Windows. It is meant to be used in a build subdirectory:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make solution
