hedley
A C/C++ header file that eliminates platform-specific #ifdefs by providing portable macros for static analysis, optimizations, and API management.
What is hedley?
Hedley is a C/C++ header file designed to eliminate platform-specific #ifdef preprocessor directives from code. It provides a portable set of macros for compiler hints, static analysis, API management, and optimizations, making cross-platform development cleaner and more maintainable. The library abstracts away compiler and platform differences so developers can focus on writing logic rather than conditional compilation.
C and C++ developers working on cross-platform projects who need to manage compiler-specific features, optimize performance, or maintain clean codebases free of #ifdef clutter.
Developers choose Hedley because it centralizes platform-specific macros into a single, well-tested header, reducing code duplication and improving readability. Its safe design ensures compatibility across Hedley versions and graceful degradation on unsupported platforms.
