The C++ Ecosystem Dilemma: A Decade of Struggles in Building and Dependency Management

1Building Systems:The Migration Costs of the Warring States Period Fragmentation of Multiple Tools CMake/Bazel/Meson are in a three-way standoff: Syntax differences require relearning configuration logic for cross-project collaboration (e.g., CMake’s <span>target_link_libraries</span> conflicts with Bazel’s <span>deps</span> rule). Historical baggage hampers modernization: Legacy projects depend on Autotools-generated <span>configure</span> scripts, which have poor compatibility with modern IDEs (like … Read more

Embedded Linux Development Log (4)

Embedded Linux Development Log (4)

Currently, most industrial control systems are embedded systems (a few simple systems use bare metal development directly). An “embedded system” refers to a computer system with specific functions embedded within specific hardware. Embedded systems generally consist of a real-time operating system (RTOS) + application software (a PLC itself is also an embedded system). Common real-time … Read more
