Emil Dotchevski 56b247d71a Significant refactoring:
- Support for error objects crossing DLL boundaries on Windows via BOOST_LEAF_CFG_WIN32=2.
- Internal TLS interface improvements, separating logical allocation from reading.
- Dynamic allocations (if enabled) for on_error objects now happens before stack unwinding begins.
- BOOST_LEAF_SYMBOL_VISIBLE declarations now separated in config/visibility.hpp.

LEAF

A lightweight error handling library for C++11.

Documentation

https://boostorg.github.io/leaf/

Features

  • Portable single-header format, no dependencies.
  • Tiny code size, configurable for embedded development.
  • No dynamic memory allocations, even with very large payloads.
  • Deterministic unbiased efficiency on the "happy" path and the "sad" path.
  • Error objects are handled in constant time, independent of call stack depth.
  • Can be used with or without exception handling.

Support

Distribution

Besides GitHub, there are two other distribution channels:

  • LEAF is included in official Boost releases, starting with Boost 1.75.
  • For maximum portability, the library is also available in single-header format: leaf.hpp.
