Live Compiler Development with Cross-Platform Tooling
Sy Brand
Can a cross-platform compiler be written from scratch, live on stage, in an hour? It can with the right tools!
In this session I will talk about many challenges in cross-platform C++ development and how tools can help: what options do I have if my production environment is different than my dev box? How can I efficiently build and debug CMake projects? How can I easily find and acquire open sourced libraries? Come to see what Visual Studio 2019, CMake, WSL2, vcpkg and more have to offer to make cross-platform C++ development easier.
Even if you're not using these tools, there's still a lot to make you think about how your tools can help you in your development, so come along!
