## Brief Description

Hedley is C/C++ a header file designed to smooth over some

platform-specific annoyances.  The idea is to get rid of a bunch of

the #ifdefs in your code and put them in Hedley instead or, if you

haven't bothered with platform-specific functionality in your code, to

make it easier to do so.  This code can be used to improve:

 * Static analysis — better warnings and errors help you catch errors

   before they become a real issue.

 * Optimizations — compiler hints help speed up your code.

 * Manage public APIs

   * Visibility — keeping internal symbols private can make your

     program faster and smaller.

   * Versioning — help consumers avoid functions which are deprecated

     or too new for all the platforms they want to support.

 * C/C++ interoperability — make it easier to use code in both C and

   C++ compilers.

* *… and more!*

You can safely use Hedley in your *public* API.  If someone else

includes a newer version of Hedley later on, the newer Hedley will

just redefine everything, and if someone includes an older version it

will simply be ignored.

It should be safe to use any of Hedley's features; if the platform

doesn't support the feature it will be silently ignored.
