Thread: Event driven console application

Has anyone come across a relatively simple event management class that can be used in a console application?

Here is what I want to do:

(1) The main function would wait for event and dispatch the actions based on event type:

Code:

main()
{
  while (event) {
    do something 
  }
}

(2) The events would be triggered by various functions implemented in the application, eg.

Code:

function1() 
{
  trigger event1
}

callback1() 
{
  trigger event2
}

Typical scenario that the app will be running is something like this:

generate event (read stdin) -> do something that returns callback -> callback triggers next event (eg. next line from stdin) -> do something that returns another callback -> ...

This is supposed to be a multi-platform app so I would like to keep it close to standard C++
