Thanks christophe, when i do nm on the binary i see big symbol for the dispatch table running into pages, is there any way to hide this? ( i was googling for type hiding and found this but not sure how to use this to hide the transition table http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/libs/multi_index/doc/compiler_specifics.html#type_hiding)

cheers

Hi Raj,

What compiler are you using? If VC, the problem could be “Enable minimal rebuild”, g++ is bad with debug, mingw even worse. I don’t know if some compiler options can help (I think I got some slight improvement by playing with –O). In the end, I avoided the problem by switching to clang (half compile time, half memory costs).

Cheers,

Christophe
