Re: [Boost-users] [bcp] [shared_ptr] Extracting subsetofboostforshared_ptr - 3.2MB?

How about something along the lines of:

bcp boost/shared_ptr.hpp --exclude=quick_allocator.hpp

Or:

#ifdef BOOST_SP_USE_QUICK_ALLOCATOR

//@bcp optional "quick_allocator is only used if explicitly requested" #include

#endif

which would then inform the user that an optional dependency wasn't being followed (if this is the default):

bcp: an optional dependency isn't included in the subset because

`quick_allocator is only used if explicitly requested'

bcp: use `bcp boost/shared_ptr.hpp boost/detail/quick_allocator.hpp' to include it

The advantage is that we don't have to decide whether to follow a particular dependency, the choice can be left to the person running bcp.

I like it, shouldn't be too hard to add either..... John.
