Hello,

I realize that Boost has Signals library already, but I've implemented a non-intrusive one which approaches the problem differently, and I'm pretty sure that there is no overlap between the two. It turned out more generic than I originally anticipated, so I thought I'd ask if others would find it useful as well.

What do you mean by non-intrusive versus the signals2 library ?

As far as I can tell in Signals2 to emit a signal you must have access to the signal object, while synapse::emit takes an emitter object. For example, with Synapse you could write:

QPushButton * b; ...... synapse::emit(b);

(Of course emit<> has no use for the type of its emitter argument -- the above would work just as well with a void pointer.)

It looks interesting but without a documented explanation I cannot figure out how it works. I don't think that one page of introduction, some examples and a reference is adequate. You should write something about what the parts of your system are, how they relate, and how they are used. I assume they form some sort of signal/slot system.
