libsigc++ -- The Typesafe Callback Framework for C++
General information:
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.
libsigc++ is used by gtkmm to wrap the GTK+ signal system. It does not
depend on GTK+ or gtkmm.
Further information is available on the libsigc++ project home page:
