Managing C++ Build Complexity Using Cuppa: A SCons-based Build System
summary
Cuppa is a SCons-based build layer that pip-installs and runs on top of SCons to produce out-of-source builds and per-variant cached folders for each toolchain and ABI. Example project uses C++ with Boost.Program_options and rapidjson to build a binary that parses a 1.6GB StockTwits JSON dump and emits CSV; builds for GCC and Clang (debug and release) are produced without recompile where possible, dependencies can be fetched from git and cached.
