Today, I tried to extract smart pointers library from Boost tree using bcp tool.
3. I run bcp --cvs --list to see how many files are related to smart_ptr.hpp (and shared_ptr.hpp too).
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?
bcp tool is very pessimistic and errs on safety side. You may manually remove files that are not needed by trial and error method (compilers/platforms/ possibly locking code/possibly preprocessor code). However majority of these files just takes space on disk and does not increase compilation time/runtime overhead - the pruning may not be worth of the effort. /Pavel
