Libsmart The C++ system development library

Libsmart is a portable C++ system development library.

Libsmart is:

• cross platform: supports MSVC 7.10, GCC3.x (Win32, Cygwin, Linux and Mac OS X)
• reliable: We already used libsmart in projects ranging from Win32/Mac OS X consumer applications to Linux based embedded devices
• modern: STL based, uses exceptions and is exception safe
• smart: minimum component dependencies, uses templates (where appropriate), function overloading and code-generation

You will find the The Reference Documentation here.

If you would like to evaluate pre-beta versions (GPL), please contact us at team (at) libsmart.com
