Standard C++ Toolset
summary
C++ tooling landscape narrows to practical pieces: cmake is the de facto build model with a new cmake file API and presets plus a cmake debugger; compilers still disagree on warnings and C++23 feature support, but Clang drives formatters, analyzers and IDE engines. Package managers (Conan, vcpkg) grow but vary in workflows. clang-tidy and clang-format are widely used (clang-format has compatibility regressions). Dataflow analysis finds real bugs (an index-out-of-bounds reproduced in Doom) and Google Test remains the dominant unit test framework; JetBrains adds AI-assisted, in-context code help.
