This is a template for small to standard sized C or C++ Projects.

All setting can be customized at the top of the makefile.

• build/ : Folder for all *.o files
• doc/ : Folder for all documentation files (created by 'make doc')

The source files must be located in a folder with the name 'src/'.

The initial compiler is set to 'g++' and uses the flags '-Wall -Werror -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter'. Initially the math library is linked.

Initially as generator for documentation doxygen is used. It is called without arguments.

For debugging gdb ist used and called with the arguments '-tui', '--directory' and '--quiet'.

To identify memory issues valgrind is used with the arguments '-v --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes'.

• doc : Runs the documentation generator.
• clean : Removes all generated files and folders.
• compile : Compiles the program with some optimizations (initially enables optimizations with '-O1' flag). Useful for testing the program during development. Only changed files (or files that are dependent on changed files) will be recompiled. The program will run somewhat decent while keeping compiletimes short.
• compileRelease : Compiles the program from scratch with full optimizations (initially enables optimizations with '-O3' and '-flto' flags). Useful for releases. The program will run as fast as possible but the compiletimes will be long.
• compileDebug : Compiles the program for debugging purposes (initially enables '-g' flag).
• debugger : Runs the debugger with its arguments and if not done starts compileDebug.
• memCheck : Runs the memory check tool with its arguments and if not done starts compileDebug.
• run : Runs the compiled program.
• ccr : Runs the targets clean, compile and run in this order.
• showDoc : Displays the documentation using the standard program for its file type
