## What it is
PolyHook 2.0 is a C++20 library for hooking functions at runtime on x86 and x64 architectures. It supports multiple hooking techniques (inline, detours, virtual table, exception-based) and integrates disassemblers like Capstone and Zydis plus AsmJit for code generation.

## Use cases
- hook a C++ function at runtime on x64
- intercept Windows API calls
- build a game mod that detours engine functions
- instrument native code for research
- hook functions in a WOW64 subsystem
- redirect calls to a target address with a trampoline

## When to choose
- you need low-level x86/x64 function hooking in C++
- you want multiple hooking strategies in one library
- you need cross-platform (Windows/Linux) hooking support
- you want a vcpkg-installable hooking library

## When to avoid
- you only need managed/.NET or Java method hooking
- you need a high-level instrumentation framework like Frida with scripting
- your target architecture is ARM
- you want a pure-header library without dependencies
