Linux & OSX: [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/billyquith/ponder.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/billyquith/ponder) -

Windows: [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/spskn9y93e8osve2/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/billyquith/ponder/branch/master)

Currents status: 3.2-alpha. API is unstable as features added/changed.

### New: Version 3

V1 replaced Boost with C++11. V2 added Lua bindings. V3 refactored to remove some warts,

ease future development, and re-add serialisation. API is evolving.

### About

Ponder is a C++ multi-purpose reflection library. It provides an abstraction for most

of the high-level concepts of C++: classes, enumerations, functions, properties.

C++1x supplies better support for compile-time reflection. Runtime reflection involves

baking compile-time reflection into the executable so this can be used at runtime. Ponder

presents a simple API for baking your objects so that they can be used at runtime. The baking

can also, optionally, userdata and support for Lua scripting.

Features:

- API to expose C++ objects.

- Runtime API to create objects, call functions, and read and modify properties.

- Automatic Lua binding generation.

### Build

Compilers supported. [Requires C++17][compsupp].

- MSVC 2017+

- Xcode 8+

- GCC 7+

- Clang 3.9+

Ponder uses CMake to generate project files which are then used to build the project ([Build

docs][build]). E.g. Use `make` to build Ponder (but you can use any build system CMake supports):

```bash

git clone https://github.com/billyquith/ponder.git

cd ponder

mkdir build && cd build

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ..

make

```

### Package Managers

Windows [vcpkg][vcpkg]:

    vcpkg install ponder

### History

Ponder is a fork of [CAMP][camp], which has been retired by the original authors. CAMP relies

on Boost, and is pre-C++11. In Ponder, the Boost dependency has been removed, and instead,

C++11 features are used. CAMP was developed by Technogerma Systems France and then by [Tegesoft][tege].

See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) and [release notes][rel] for more details on Ponder changes.
