How isocpp/cppcoreguidelines works
This repository publishes the C++ Core Guidelines: a document for developers to consult when designing and implementing modern C++ code. Its principal workflow is to apply guidance on interfaces, resource and memory management, and concurrency, then use analysis tools to identify rule violations. The README also emphasizes type safety, simplicity, and gradual adoption. The tree contains supporting papers, but the sampled source does not establish a runtime pipeline; relationships below are limited to capabilities and links stated in the README.
