I've updated the Signals library again. It is available at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/Callback/signals-20011224.tgz
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/Callback/signals-20011224.zip
Here are the changes from the last version:
* Update to match visit_each framework supported by Boost.Bind
* Signals can be connected to other signals directly.
* Signals can be connected to references to slot function objects
(function objects are then not copied).
* Added argI_type types to signal classes, and cleaned up the
corresponding documentation (thanks to Bill Kempf).
* Document noncopyable requirement (thanks to Bill Kempf).
* "Bindable" changed to "Trackable" (thanks to Peter Dimov).
* Added named slot connections (thanks for Peter Dimov for the
suggestion, and Brad King for the push toward a small implementation).
* Trackable rationale documentation (Bill Kempf).
* Explicitly instantiate what Signals needs within the non-template
source.
* Tutorial extended and updated.
* Added examples directory.
* Added SlotFunction template parameter to specify the type of object to
hold the slot function objects (suggested by Peter Dimov).
* Documentation updates for signalN classes.
* Link to all header files within the documentation for those header
files.
* Moved all headers except signal.hpp into signals subdirectory.
* return_last_value renamed to last_value.
* Proper documentation for last_value class.
* Design documentation added.
Please use Boost.Bind and Boost.Function from CVS with the Signals library.
Tested under GCC 2.9.3, GCC 3.0.2, Comeau 4.2.45.2, and MSVC 6.0sp5.
Borland C++ 5.5.1 currently fails to compile, and I could use some help from
those who understand the Borland workarounds.
Comments always appreciated, and happy holidays to those celebrating.
