Awesome, Stand-Alone C++11 Projects

Projects with wide adoption, broad compiler support, proper testing and great documentation.

Most of them are header-only (which is not necessarily a good thing for all tasks!), some of them even provide an amalgated (single-file) header.

Intro

This is a spontaneous and verbatime log of a conversion with Boris Staletic @bstaletic from March, 24th 2018 on the pybind11 gitter. Thank you so much, Boris!

To confuse future readers, we decided to write down the discussion and I added typos and unnecessarily long sentences.

The issue came up with linking a CMake (library) target into a pybind11 module (in openPMD-api).
