libsigc++ implements a typesafe callback system for standard C++. It allows you to define signals and to connect those signals to any callback function, either global or a member function, regardless of whether it is static or virtual. This is the 1.2 version of libsigc++, which is outdated, but required by some packages that haven't been updated to use 2.0 yet. This package doesn't conflict with the main libsigc++ package.
