What it is

A comprehensive C++ educational repository covering language fundamentals through advanced topics (C++11/14/17/20 features, STL internals, design patterns, concurrent programming). It provides structured learning materials with runnable code examples organized by topic, designed to bridge the gap from beginner to advanced C++ developer. Monorepo structure organized by C++ concept: basic_content/ contains fundamentals (abstract, assert, bit, const, polymorphism) each with BUILD files, source code, and README explanations. Root WORKSPACE file indicates Bazel-managed monorepo. Each topic directory is self-contained with headers, implementations, and test/example code.

Start here

Open these first:

• README.md — Main entry point documenting the educational purpose, structure, and scope of C++ learning materials organized by topic.
• WORKSPACE — Bazel workspace configuration defining the build system and project structure for all C++ examples.
• basic_content/const/README.md — Foundation topic explaining const semantics across functions, classes, and extern variables—critical for understanding C++…
• basic_content/abstract/README.md — Documents abstract classes and pure virtual functions, core OOP concepts demonstrated across multiple example files.
• basic_content/enum/README.md — Covers enum types including classic and modern C++ patterns, foundational for type-safe enumeration practices.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Light-City/CPlusPlusThings.git. For Bazel builds (primary method): bazel build //basic_content/.... For g++ compilation: `g++ -std=c++17 basic_content/const/const_n…

Daily commands:

Bazel (primary): bazel run //basic_content/const:example (substitute topic/target). G++ (fallback): g++ -std=c++17 basic_content/const/const_num.cpp produces executable. VSCode+Bazel integration supported per README…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Slowing — last commit 4mo ago
• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 69% of recent commits
• No CI workflows detected
• Bazel is non-standard build tool requiring separate installation; g++ fallback requires manual C++17 flag specification (-std=c++17). Docker path exists but no Dockerfile or container instructions provided in…
• License evidence is incomplete or ambiguous.
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
