Dependency concept for C ++

Question

Is there a DI structure comparable to Google Guice? And what does Google use?

Answer 1

There is nothing mature or standard like Guice in the C ++ world. However, some people have combined simplified implementations on their own. Here is a couple.

• http://adam.younglogic.com/2008/07/dependency-injection-in-c/ (the source for implementation is at the end of the message)
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtioccontainer/ (Qt required)
• http://code.google.com/p/autumnframework/ (since 2007, it has not been touched).
• http://programmaticallyspeaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/beautiful-dependency-injection-in-c.html (more detailed description)
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpp-resolver/ (quality "Alpha")

You are unlikely to be satisfied with any of them.

If you really wanted to make an effort to rally the world around the DI framework for C ++, perhaps the way for this is to make an offer for the Boost guys.

Answer 2

I am the author of wallaroo . It is actively developing and has the following functions:

• it is light but powerful
• its interface supports both C ++ 11 and C ++ 98 with boost
• safe type
• he does not need custom preprocessors / code generators
• you can load classes defined in shared libraries.
• you can use DSL syntax to create an object and post or
• you can get the creation and posting of objects by parsing one or more xml / json files.

Any comments, suggestions or requests are welcome.

Answer 3

There is a recent one that looks very interesting, called Hypodermic , I have not tested it, but it looks quite active

Answer 4

I am currently creating one of the named sauce , whose design (and name) is directly inspired by guice. I still find it alpha, but you may find it useful.
