I had a case in #boost last month where an user tried extracting Boost.Bimap with bcp, which failed (reproducably) at pulling in sufficient amounts of MPL. This might be due to heavy Boost.PP usage.
Yes, bcp does pulls in MPL, that's because it is very conservative, which is probably a good thing. At any rate, the resulting Boost is much smaller than the whole thing.
Smaller, yes. Working, no.
I wish there were caveats in the documentation describing these fatal flaws. Instead, it seems to pride itself on claiming it pulls in everything, whether it applies for your platform or not.
Please file a bug report if there's a problem, otherwise I - probably - don't get to hear about it.
Now that I have, I'll investigate Bimap,
I told the person to file a bug for it, which I do whenever someone discovers a problem, and was of the impression that he understood what I said. I guess I should have followed up by looking at the trac later. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
