Welcome, thank you for your interest in the project!
Contributions are always welcome. If you have not already, consider joining the community discord (linked in the README). There is discussion about library development there as well as a development roadmap. Github issues are also a good place to start.
I'm happy to merge fixes, improvements, and features as well as help with getting pull requests (PRs) over the finish line. That being said, I can't merge stylistic changes, premature-optimizations, or micro-optimizations.
When contributing, please try to match the current code style in the codebase. Style doesn't matter too much ultimately but consistency within a codebase is important.
The easiest way to develop locally is to run make build which will handle cmake invocation and
build in build/. Alternatively you can manually run cmake .., along with any cmake
configurations you desire in a build folder. Then run make -j, ninja, or
msbuild libassert.sln.
Some useful configurations:
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug|Release|RelWithDebInfo: Build in debug / release / etc.-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=On: Build shared library-DLIBSANITIZER_BUILD=On: Turn on sanitizers-DLIBASSERT_BUILD_TESTING=On: Build test and demo programs
Run make test, ninja test, or msbuild RUN_TESTS.vcxproj to run tests. Unfortunately testing
for this project is not in a great state at the moment and while there is some unit testing it
relies heavily on integration testing that is hard to maintain.
