Hi, Today, I tried to extract smart pointers library from Boost tree using bcp tool. Everything seems to work well: 1. I checkouted latest Boost CVS 2. I build bcp without any problems, using VC++ 8.0 3. I run bcp --cvs --list to see how many files are related to smart_ptr.hpp (and shared_ptr.hpp too). 4. Finally, I extracted smart pointers library: d:\boost_cvs> bcp --cvs smart_ptr.hpp d:\tmp\boost-smart_ptr Next, I compiled some examples using this extraction and everything works well. My only question is if this is normal that smart_ptr extraction weight is about 2.8MB ? Are there any options that can be used to make this package smaller? Here is a linsg (looong) of files that I got copied during the extraction process. Could anyone take a look at it and see if there are some files not used which can be safely removed? //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // START OF THE LIST ./boost/assert.hpp
