A Journey Into Modern DevOps and Continuous Integration in C and C++ Projects

C and C++ continue to be used and favored by many developers in all industries. However, when compared to other languages, C/C++ developers face greater challenges that include: long build times, diverse platforms and ecosystems, different build systems, binary compatibility, code inlining and embedding, and lack of standard for OSS.

This featured DevOps.com article takes a look at these challenges, outlines the required modern DevOps practices and tools, and demonstrates how they can be solved with a typical case study that uses Conan and JFrog Artifactory.

“C++ is not only the most powerful language in terms of performance, but it’s also a great language!
It has true generics, it is expressive, and one of the most loved languages out there by programmers.”
Diego Rodriguez-Losada, SW Engineer at JFrog and creator of Conan.io the OSS C/C++ package manager
