Features

  • Portable single-header format, no dependencies.
  • Tiny code size when configured 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.
