Project Creation

• Creates a proj-name directory and creates a new C/C++ project inside of it.

  # Creates a C project by default (both of the following are equivilent)
  kiln new proj-name
  kiln new proj-name --language c
  
  # Optionally include the --cpp flag to create a C++ project instead
  kiln new proj-name --language cpp
  

• Create a C/C++ project in the current directory. Fails if there’s already a file named Kiln.toml in the current directory.

  # Creates a C project by default
  kiln init
  
  # Optionally include the --cpp flag to create a C++ project instead
  kiln init --language cpp
  

Running and Building

• Builds our project. The compiled binary will be created as build/XXX/proj-name where XXX is the compilation profile (debug, and release shown below).

  # builds in --debug mode by default
  kiln build
  
  # build in --release mode, which will estimate the optimal compiler flags based on your source code
  kiln build --release
  

• Builds our projects and runs the compiled binary.

  # runs in --debug mode by default
  trufc kiln
  
  # We can pass command line arguments to our program by entering them after `--`
  trufc kiln --release -- arg1 arg2
