**Cpp-Code-Large**

Cpp-Code-Large is a large-scale corpus of C++ source code comprising more than **5 million** lines of C++ code. The dataset is designed to support research in large language model (LLM) pretraining, code intelligence, software engineering automation, and static program analysis for the C++ ecosystem.

By providing a high-volume, language-specific corpus, Cpp-Code-Large enables systematic experimentation in C++-focused model training, domain adaptation, and downstream code understanding tasks.

Cpp-Code-Large addresses the need for a dedicated C++-only dataset at substantial scale, enabling focused research across systems programming, performance-critical applications, embedded systems, game engines, and large-scale native software projects.

**1. Dataset Composition**
