libsigc++
A typesafe callback framework for C++ that implements a signal/slot system for connecting signals to any callback function.
What is libsigc++?
libsigc++ is a C++ library that implements a typesafe callback framework, enabling developers to create signals and connect them to various callback functions. It solves the problem of managing event-driven interactions in C++ applications by providing a compile-time checked, flexible signal/slot system. Originally developed for gtkmm, it is now a standalone library used in diverse C++ projects.
C++ developers building event-driven applications, especially those using GUI toolkits like GTK via gtkmm, or anyone needing a robust callback mechanism in modern C++.
Developers choose libsigc++ for its strict type safety, which eliminates common callback-related runtime errors, and its versatility in connecting to any function type without external dependencies.
Overview
libsigc++ implements a typesafe callback system for standard C++. It allows you to define signals and to connect those signals to any callback function, either global or a member function, regardless of whether it is static or virtual.
