hikogui VS nuklear

See my own implementation: https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/src/hikogui/concurrency/unfair_mutex.hpp

Yes, it is an open source project for a cross platform retained GUI library with a modern c++20 API. https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui

With some growing pains on configuring CMake, I was able to converted a single header file in my project github.com/hikogui/hikogui/ to a module interface file, but it hit an ICE immediately. Of course I reported it, including a crash dump, and a project-branch.

Look at all the pipeline_SDF source files at https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/tree/main/src/hikogui/GFX

Here is the fragment shader: https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/shaders/pipeline_SDF.frag

Here is the tool to create de-duplicated table and index table from the unicode database: https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/tools/generate_unicode_data.py

Thank you for mentioning HikoGUI.

On windows, you can even use just-in-time-debugging (enabled with registry key), which brings up a dialogue when the application crashes to select a debugger to attach to the "crashed" application. But for this to work correctly you need to do some fanzy things. See: https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/src/hikogui/debugger.hpp and https://github.com/hikogui/hikogui/blob/main/src/hikogui/debugger_win32.cpp

Nuklear is an alternative Immediate GUI, also written in C.

> And for the right project, especially those where a predefined engine structure does not not fit, it can still be the most productive choice.

Right on. While interning at an oil refinery, I developed an application in LÖVE that processes and displays data from spectrometers. In hindsight it may not have been the wisest choice, but hand rolling all the GUI elements I couldnt force out of the Nuklear[0] bindings for LÖVE gave me a strange sense of satisfaction.

No, Nuklear has been updated 2 days ago.

I think good option would be nuklear it is a single header lib

For GUI, there are lots, most well-known of course being Dear Imgui, for which people have made auto-generated C bindings. Another mature but a lot simpler option is Nuklear, as others have mentioned. Even more minimalistic (it's just 1KLOC) is microui. There are a lot more, just google "imgui library c".

What about https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear ?

Nuklear? They have a number of backends.
