Homebrew C++ library for 3DS

[SSQ]

just wanted to ask if you can use any C++ Library on 3DS? I'm trying to code a 7Z extractor for 3DS and found some libraries to make it easier and wanted to know if I could on 3DS.

It depends from library to library. If it uses architecture or OS-specific functions or data types then no, you can't, otherwise you indeed can. Of course, if you want to use a C++ library on a 3DS you should check if it is compatible with ARM CPUs: even if it won't work out of the box, it should at least make porting it easier.

Also, keep in mind that some popular libraries have already been ported (but I'm pretty sure you've already checked).
