-cpp-signal
-==========
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-This is a simple C++ callback library. It's conceptually similar to
-FastDelegate, Qt, and countless other "typesafe callbacks in C++" articles
-across the web.
-
-This library was developed with a primary goal of having an extremely simple,
-clean API. Secondary goals include low memory (low template bloat), zero
-external dependencies, and a high level of portability.
-
-Quick Start
------------
-
-Using the library is incredibly simple. First, add the files to your project,
-Makefile, IDE, etc. Then, to use the library, simply include "signal.h".
-
-Here's a simple example:
-
-	#include "signal.h"
-	
-	void beep() { /* make speaker beep */ }
-
-	void flash() { /* make screen flash */ }
-
-	int main(int arg, char** argv)
-	{
-		// create a signal which we'll emit any time a button is pressed
-		signal<void> button_pressed;
-
-		// connect (i.e. subscribe) functions to the signal
-		button_pressed.connect(&beep);
-		button_pressed.connect(&flash);
-
-		// main loop, check for button press, and call signal
-		while ( true )
-		{
-			if ( is_button_pressed() )
-			{
-				// call signal, which in turn calls all slot functionss (i.e. subscribers)
-				button_pressed();
-			}
-		}
-	}
-
-More thorough examples...
--------------------------
-
-Under the Hood
---------------
-
-
-TO DO
------
-
-* better documentation
-* consistent code cleanup
-* generate.rb creates a single header file
-* add License clause to source and LICENSE file
-

-Signal pub/sub callback library in C++. Inspired by FastDelegate, with a
