# coreLib

coreLib is an experimental C++ project for rebuilding foundational library components from first principles.

This project uses a Core/App architecture:

- `Core` builds into a static library.
- `App` builds into an executable and links against `Core`.
- Library code lives in the `core` namespace.
- `App` is used for testing and exploration.

## Structure

```text
coreLib
│
├─ Core
│  └─ Source
│     └─ core

├─ App
│  └─ Source

├─ Scripts
├─ Vendor
└─ Build.lua

Core contains the reusable library code.

Library code should live inside the core namespace:

namespace core
{

}

Application code may use a namespace alias:

namespace ns = core;

Example:

ns::cout << "Hello from coreLib\n";

App is the executable project.

It is mainly used to test and experiment with the code in Core.

This project uses Premake to generate project files.

Important files:

• Build.lua
• Core/Build-Core.lua
• App/Build-App.lua

On Windows, run:

Scripts/Setup-Windows.bat

Then open the generated Visual Studio solution.

This project is based on a C++ Core/App project template using Premake from The Cherno.

Premake binaries are included in Vendor/.

The original template is released under the UNLICENSE.

Premake is licensed under the BSD 3-Clause license.
