Standard C++ Toolset
summary
C++ tooling is finally converging: clang as language engine now provides compiler, LSP, clang-tidy and clang-format (note: clang-format uses a fuzzy parser and often breaks configs across versions), and cmake as de facto build system dominates project models after adding a file API and debugger. Package managers like Conan and vcpkg maturing but most teams still vend source. A data‑flow analyzer finds a real out‑of‑bounds in Doom (index 63), and IDE‑embedded AI fixes tests and explains CMake errors in-place.
