Tooling Intuition - Improving Development with Compiler and Static Analysis Tools

Explore the evolution and effective utilization of development tools in this 48-minute conference talk from Meeting C++ 2023. Delve into the significant improvements in compiler outputs and static analysis tools over the years. Learn to interpret and leverage compiler messages, distinguish between code-specific and linker-specific issues, and optimize your development process through enhanced static analysis techniques. Examine a cross-platform project to discover best practices for configuring warnings, errors, and static analysis settings across Windows, Mac, and Linux environments. Gain valuable insights into deciphering complex tooling outputs and cultivating a deeper understanding of how to maximize the potential of your development toolkit. Build your intuition for effectively using and interpreting modern C++ development tools to streamline your coding workflow and improve overall code quality.
