C++ Core Guidelines - Modernize your C++ Code Base
summary
The C++ Core Guidelines are presented with concrete enforcement: a header‑only GSL provides owner<T>, not_null and span types; Cevelop adds interactive static checks and quick‑fix refactorings that actually convert C arrays to std::array or std::string, add noexcept/default for special members, replace manual loops with std::algorithms, and flag null or uninitialized pointers. The guideline PDF runs 377 pages but the implemented toolset (student contributions included) detects dozens of real issues in files like fish shell and performs safe automated fixes.
