What it is

A comprehensive visual guide to 23 Gang of Four design patterns implemented in C++ with accompanying UML class diagrams, sequence diagrams, and state diagrams. The project combines theory (diagrams in reStructuredText docs) with runnable C++ code examples to teach both pattern structure and real-world implementation across creational, structural, and behavioral pattern categories. Three-tier structure: root documentation in reStructuredText (index.rst, creational_patterns/, structural_patterns/, behavioral_patterns/ directories), design model in EA project file (design_patterns.EAP containing all UML diagrams), and compilable source code organized in code/ directory. Static assets…

Start here

Open these first:

• index.rst — Main entry point for the design patterns documentation; all readers should start here to understand the book structure and…
• design_patterns.EAP — EA project file containing all UML class diagrams and sequence diagrams for every design pattern discussed in the book
• creational_patterns/creational.rst — Core documentation covering creational patterns (Factory, Singleton, Builder, Abstract Factory); fundamental for…
• structural_patterns/structural.rst — Core documentation covering structural patterns (Adapter, Bridge, Decorator, Facade, Proxy); essential for understanding…
• behavioral_patterns/behavioral.rst — Core documentation covering behavioral patterns (Observer, State, Strategy, Command, Mediator); critical for understanding…

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, then read index.rst to navigate the documentation structure. To compile C++ examples: make in the code/ directory (requires gcc 4.6.2+). To generate HTML docs: make html (requires Sphinx). View…

Daily commands:

For C++ examples: navigate to code/, run make to compile. For documentation: run make html at repo root (requires Sphinx + sphinx_rtd_theme). View generated HTML in _build/html/index.html. No runtime server required…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 2y ago
• Small team — 2 contributors active in recent commits
• Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 95% of recent commits
• Target compiler is gcc 4.6.2 (2011 era); modern gcc/clang may reject C++03/early-C++11 syntax or have stricter ABI compatibility. EA project file (.EAP) requires Enterprise Architect license to edit (open-source tool…
• 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.
