lf-lang / reactor-cpp

A C++ framework for writing reactor programs

A Reactor-Oriented Programming Framework in C++

While reactor-cpp can be used as a standalone framework, it is designed to work in conjunction with Lingua Franca, a polyglot metaprogramming language. Read the Lingua Franca handbook to get an overview of the reactor model.

Build

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

The examples need to be built explicitly. Alternatively, take a look at the CONTRIBUTING.md for building with nix package manager.

Extras

reactor-cpp can be built with tracing support. This provides a powerful tool for analyzing and debugging reactor applications.
