Effective Modern CMake

Getting Started

For a brief user-level introduction to CMake, watch C++ Weekly, Episode 78, Intro to CMake by Jason Turner. LLVM’s CMake Primer provides a good high-level introduction to the CMake syntax. Go read it now.

After that, watch Mathieu Ropert’s CppCon 2017 talk Using Modern CMake Patterns to Enforce a Good Modular Design (slides). It provides a thorough explanation of what modern CMake is and why it is so much better than “old school” CMake. The modular design ideas in this talk are based on the book [Large-Scale C++ Software Design](https://www.amazon.de/Large-Scale-Soft

	// Creating a node graph editor for Dear ImGui
	// Quick sample, not production code!
	// This is quick demo I crafted in a few hours in 2015 showcasing how to use Dear ImGui to create custom stuff,
	// which ended up feeding a thread full of better experiments.
	// See https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/306 for details

	// Fast forward to 2023, see e.g. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Useful-Extensions#node-editors

	// Changelog
	// - v0.05 (2023-03): fixed for renamed api: AddBezierCurve()->AddBezierCubic().

	// Mini memory editor for Dear ImGui (to embed in your game/tools)
	// Animated GIF: https://twitter.com/ocornut/status/894242704317530112

	// THE MEMORY EDITOR CODE HAS MOVED TO GIT:
	// https://github.com/ocornut/imgui_club/tree/master/imgui_memory_editor
	// Click "Revisions" on the Gist to see old version.
