Dependency Injection framework for C++ [closed]

Answer 1

There is a recent one that looks very interesting called Hypodermic, i haven't tested it but it looks pretty active

Answer 2

I'm the author of wallaroo. It's actively developed and has the following features:

• it's lightweight but powerful
• its interface supports both C++11 and C++98 with boost
• it's type safe
• it doesn't need custom preprocessors / code generators
• you can load classes defined in shared libraries
• you can use a DSL syntax for object creation and wiring or
• you can get object creation and wiring by parsing one or more xml / json file.

Any comment, suggestion or request are welcome.

Answer 3

I am currently authoring one called sauce, whose design (and name) is directly inspired by guice. I still consider it alpha, but you may find it useful.

Answer 4

There is nothing as mature or standard as Guice in the C++ world. However, some people have put together simplistic implementations on their own. Here's a couple.

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

You're unlikely to be satisfied by any of these.

If you really wanted to put in the effort to rally the world around a DI framework for C++, probably the way to go about it would be to make a proposal to the Boost guys.
