  Project mention: Which of these should I click on? I'm not super computer savvy and trying to do this by myself. Also, any other advice before I get to the next steps? | reddit.com/r/openrct2 | 2023-01-28

  Ugh, this list is a mess - literally everything is listed twice, so there are 8 entries when there should only be 4. If you look at the github release, there are correctly only four windows downloads (excluding symbols): https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/releases/tag/v0.4.3

• sol2

  9 3,292 6.8 C++

  Sol3 (sol2 v3.0) - a C++ <-> Lua API wrapper with advanced features and top notch performance - is here, and it's great! Documentation:

  Project mention: CBN Changelog: December 3, 2022. Improved LUA support in progress! | reddit.com/r/cataclysmbn | 2022-12-03

  This version relies on a Lua C++ wrapper called sol2 to hide Lua stack management from the developer, so creating new bindings can be done by adding a few lines of human-readable C++. It still has to be done manually, but at least sol2 is able to automatically figure out types of objects being bound, so it's not much different from our de-/serialization code.

• pfr

  1 1,102 0.0 C++

  std::tuple like methods for user defined types without any macro or boilerplate code

  

  Project mention: Minimum viable declarative GUI in C++ | reddit.com/r/cpp | 2022-03-23

  The code is relatively short and can be groked with a few coffees: https://github.com/boostorg/pfr/tree/develop/include/boost/pfr ; if you're using C++17 it uses a binary search (https://github.com/boostorg/pfr/blob/develop/include/boost/pfr/detail/fields_count.hpp) to count the number of fields in a struct, by starting by the observation that a likely majorant on the number of fields in a struct is sizeof(the struct) * CHAR_BIT, assuming not too many [[no_unique_address]] tomfooleries. Then once this count is known it's possible to simply map them as a tuple through sheer brute force and destructuring: https://github.com/boostorg/pfr/blob/develop/include/boost/pfr/detail/core17_generated.hpp
