Toolchain — Reference Material
Reference material for the tools you use every session. You do not read this shelf front to back — you reach for a page when something bites.
| Page / file | What it covers |
|---|---|
sanity-check.cpp |
The one-file compiler verification program — compile and run it after installing a toolchain (setup checklists) |
compiler-errors.md |
The compiler error catalogue: the messages beginners actually meet, decoded line by line |
gdb-walkthrough.md |
A first session with the debugger: breakpoints, stepping, inspecting variables |
vs-code-tips.md |
Editor setup that pays off in every session: build tasks, warnings, run configuration |
Quick start — verify your compiler with:
g++ -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra sanity-check.cpp -o sanity
./sanity
If any step fails, the Getting Started troubleshooting guide walks through the usual causes.
