cr.h is a single-file, header-only C/C++ library that enables hot reloading of dynamically linked binaries (.so/.dylib/.dll) with a minimal three-function API. It provides automatic crash protection and static state transfer, primarily aimed at live-coding workflows in game development.
Use cases
- hot reload C code during game development
- live coding without a scripting language
- reload plugin dlls at runtime
- transfer static state across reloads
- protect host app from crashing guest code
When to choose
- iterating quickly on C/C++ game or app logic without restarting
- wanting minimal boilerplate hot reload with no build system lock-in
- needing crash protection around reloadable plugins
When to avoid
- need hot reload for languages other than C/C++
- require scripting-language-level flexibility or bindings
- project cannot be structured as a thin host plus dynamic library
