c-cpp

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides expert guidance for writing safe, performant, and production-ready C and C++ code, addressing common pitfalls and leveraging modern language features.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Memory Management: Master RAII and smart pointers (std::unique_ptr, std::shared_ptr) to prevent leaks and dangling pointers.
• Modern C++: Utilize C++17, C++20, and C++23 features like concepts, ranges, std::expected, and std::format for cleaner, safer code.
• Build Systems: Learn best practices for CMake, including target setup, include directories, and sanitizer integration.
• Const Correctness & UB Avoidance: Write robust code by understanding const correctness and common sources of undefined behavior.
• Use Case: Developing a high-performance game engine, an operating system component, or a critical library where reliability and efficiency are paramount.

Quick Start

Use the c-cpp skill to generate a CMakeLists.txt file for a new C++20 project with AddressSanitizer enabled.
