Roadmap

Done

latest version

• More git options
  • Add branch/tag option for git
  • Add initialize submodule option for git
• Async/Multi-thread compile and dependencies processing
• Ability to skip DefaultPlatform and DefaultProfile
• Handle escape characters at the end
  • To avoid situation like this:
    • Substitution string: -I "{path}"
    • Substitution value: .\
    • Substituted string: -I ".\"
      • Where the path contains escape character which escaped the wrapping quotes

Planned

v0.3.0

• Allow runcpp2 to be library for scriptable pipeline
• Add ability to reference local YAML for user config
• Add version for default user config and prompt for update
• Add platform map for PreferredProfile for user config
• Add more default profiles

v0.4.0

• Migrate to libyaml
• Ability to compile runcpp2 as single cpp

TBD

• Add the ability for user to specify custom substitution options which applies to all fields
• Add the ability to append defines coming from the dependencies
• Check last run is shared lib or executable. Reset cache when necessary if different type
• Add wildcard support for filenames and extensions (Files Globbing)
• Add the ability to query script build directory
• Add the ability to list script dependencies

Planned But Low Priority

• Smoother CMake support by reading cmake target properties (https://stackoverflow.com/a/56738858/23479578)

• Add the ability to specify different profiles(?)/defines for different source files
• Use to handle potential segfaults
• Use System2 subprocess if no prepend commands to be safer
• Add tests and examples (On Windows as well)
• Make SearchLibraryNames and SearchDirectories optional (?)
• Add cache limit
• Add system source type for dependencies
• Output compile_command.json
• Allow Languages to override FileExtensions in compiler profile (?)
• Custom Platform
• Ability to specify custom run commands
