<refsect1 id="libsigc-2.0-3-desc"><title>&desc-tt;</title>

<para><command>&cmd;</command> 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. </para>

<para><command>&cmd;</command> also contains adapter classes for connection of dissimilar callbacks and has an ease of use unmatched by other C++ callback libraries.</para>

<para>

Please note that these C++ interfaces are built with the Sun Studio C++

Compiler and compiled with the -compat=5 C++ compiler option, so version 5

(Standard Mode) of the C++ ABI standard is used.
