Effective Modern CMake

Getting Started

For a brief user-level introduction to CMake, watch C++ Weekly, Episode 78, Intro to CMake by Jason Turner. LLVM’s CMake Primer provides a good high-level introduction to the CMake syntax. Go read it now.

After that, watch Mathieu Ropert’s CppCon 2017 talk Using Modern CMake Patterns to Enforce a Good Modular Design (slides). It provides a thorough explanation of what modern CMake is and why it is so much better than “old school” CMake. The modular design ideas in this talk are based on the book [Large-Scale C++ Software Design](https://www.amazon.de/Large-Scale-Soft

	// ES6 version using asynchronous iterators, compatible with node v10.0+

	const fs = require("fs");
	const path = require("path");

	async function* walk(dir) {
	for await (const d of await fs.promises.opendir(dir)) {
	const entry = path.join(dir, d.name);
	if (d.isDirectory()) yield* walk(entry);
	else if (d.isFile()) yield entry;
