Project Summary

The C! or cbang library is a collection of C++ utility libraries
developed over the course of +10 years and several major C++
application development projects. It should compile and run on
Windows, Linux and OSX using a modern C++ compiler.

Many of the facilities of C! are geared towards cross-platform
application development and providing basic services that most
applications need such as a configuration system, run-time build
information, logging facilities, threads, smart pointers, simple
scripting, etc.

C!'s philosophy is to create clean, simple, readable, modular and
reusable code. C! also encourages exception based error handling,
and light use of C++ templates and C preprocesor macros.

C! "leans" on the venerable boost library but also reimplements
several boost APIs which are considered by the author to be too
template heavy, less readable or overly complicated in boost.

The code was developed on an as needed basis and was never intended to
be any sort of grand unifying system for C++ application development.
However, I hope you find many parts of the library useful in your C++
development projects.
