Resources for CS 2040

• Replit C++ Environment: a simple way to run short C++ programs, especially if you are having problems with CodeLite or the VM.
• cplusplus.com: a great reference for C++. However, this material likely only makes sense if you have already read the textbook - it presumes you are already familiar with much of C++. Stack Overflow is not particularly helpful for this course because that presumes an even greater understanding of C++. SO rarely contains full explanations of answers, making it difficult for beginners to know if an answer really applies to their situation.
• Using Codelite
• Multi-file Codelite Projects
• Setting up the the CS 2040 VM for C++ development
• If opening files is not working in CodeLite:
  1. Right click on your project and select Settings...
  2. In the General group, scroll down to Working Directory and set it to $(WorkspacePath)/. Then, press the tab key.
  3. If you have not done so, select the Compiler tab and set C++ Compiler Options to -g;-O0;-Wall;-std=c++17. Again, press the tab key.
  4. You might go back and check the Working Directory in the General tab - it is very easy to not save your changes.
  5. Click OK
  You can now place the files in the top level directory of the workspace. That is, if your workspace is named myspace, put your files in the same folder that contains myspace.workspace.
• Setting up a git repository on your VM
• C++ Compiler errors and fixes
• Debugging 201: Debugging segmentation faults in C++
