lzz

Once upon a time, there was a project called Lazy C++ ("lzz"), which allowed C++ programmers to write code without worrying so much about header files. For projects where header files weren't important, this was a big time-saver.

The Lazy C++ project became unmaintained sometime in 2020, but other projects still depend on it. To help people maintain such projects, this repository contains executable binaries of the most recent published version of lzz (v2.8.2). Since it is not longer being updated, it may not support newer features of the C++ programming language.

Downloads

• Linux, Intel 386
• Windows, Intel 386

To install lzz, simply place the executable in your path. The Linux binary was built with g++ 4.4.4 on Slackware 13.1.0. The Windows binary was built using mingw g++ 3.4.5 cross compiler. The Mac binary was built using the g++ Xcode 3.x compiler (i686-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1).
