1 libsigc++ -- The Typesafe Callback Framework for C++
6 libsigc++ implements a typesafe callback system for standard C++. It
7 allows you to define signals and to connect those signals to any
8 callback function, either global or a member function, regardless of
9 whether it is static or virtual.
11 libsigc++ is used by gtkmm to wrap the GTK+ signal system. It does not
12 depend on GTK+ or gtkmm.
