Practical guides

Choose a source-integration form and add the libraries to an existing C++ program.

Run the example programs and use them as practical references for SC::Build, Async, Http, Plugin, and other libraries.

Learn how a C++ build description becomes native outputs or generated IDE projects.

Adopt SC::Build in another repository with a vendored, shared, or revision-pinned cached checkout.

Install and inspect pinned development tools, cross toolchains, sysroots, and runners with SC::Package.

Format the repository or check formatting in CI with SC::Format.

Learn how the bootstrap compiles small repository tools on demand and when to write one.

Supported, planned, and intentionally unsupported operating-system targets.

Understand where tests live, how they double as examples, and how coverage is published.

Make informed choices about STL interoperability, strict mode, debugger support, and stability.

The constraints behind the libraries: readable code, explicit ownership, fast builds, strict errors, and controlled dependencies.

Build the repository locally, run focused tests, reproduce issues, and validate contribution branches.

Formatting, naming, error-handling, and API rules for code that should remain readable to humans and agents.
