v1.0 build 1 (master branch)
#Yadif Yadif is a lightweight, nonintrusive C++11 dependency injection framework. It is distributed as a single header. Concepts are (loosely) modelled after the Java Guice framework. The name actually stands for Yet Another Dependency Injection Framework.
###Introduction
Dependency injection is an object oriented design pattern that uses inversion of control to reduce coupling between objects.
Although widely used in the Java community, in C++ dependency injection is mostly noted by its absence. This probably stems from the fact that C++ doesn't have programmable annotations or a class loader that assists with object creation. In C++ every object must be created by calling a constructor. This used to mean that a lot of factory objects had to be written, and dependency injection was just to tedious to be helpful.
But C++11 changed the picture. Variadic templates allow to write functions that overload on a variable number of arguments. A good example (and also used for object creation) is std::make_shared<>. Yadif uses similar techniques to simplify the generation of factory objects.
###Documentation
###Compilers Currently, Yadif compiles with clang 3.5 and gcc 4.9.
