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 about the major release 2.0 is available on the
libsigc++ project home page: http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/

Compatibility:
Compatible compilers must supports the following recent c++ techniques:
* Partial template (function) specialization.
* Explicit template (member) function instantiation.
* Treat void return as normal return.
This release has only been tested with gcc-3.3. It should at least also compile with:
* gcc >= 3.2
* cygwin (gcc >= 3.2)
* mingw32
* Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003
* Sun Forte C++ compiler >= 5.5
* Compaq C++ compiler
* Intel compiler
Please report any troubles you encounter with these compilers!
You are also invited to try a compiler that is not listed above.
