Introduction

Scopira uses the concept of stackable singleton objects "loops" to manage the core global variables needed various subsystem layers. Loop objects are either implicitly created, created by being a base class of another loop and directly instantied by you in your main() function.

You don't always need a loop object, however.

The scopira::core::basic_loop is the core loop in almost all loops. It can also be used directly but may also be a base class by variou other groups.

Features

scopira::core::basic_loop provides the following key features:

Command line and configuration file parsing and processing (get_config(), etc)
Dynamic library loading (plug-ins) via lib= parameters.

basic_loop is a singleton. It's instance can always be accessed via scopira::core::basic_loop::instance().

Example

A basic, non-gui Scopira program would be as follows:

#include <scopira/core/loop.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  scopira::core::basic_loop l(argc, argv);
  return 0;
}
