typesafe callback system
I make GUI programs in C++ with gtkmm library. http://www.gtkmm.org
Btw, this library use typesafe callback system for standard C++, that is
http://libsigc.sourceforge.net
The explanation is like this:
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.
It also contains adaptor classes for connection of dissimilar callbacks and has an ease of use unmatched by other C++ callback libraries.
However I still don't get it. Can you explain this complicated things to newbie like me???? What is actually typesafe callback things? It would be great if you provide simple example.....
Thank you............
