Of course template code is a different kettle of fish. Yeah... compile times are the biggest reason some of our algorithms are NOT template/generic.
There's always explicit instantiation.
Exactly -- and this can be easily layered on by the library user. If the library does it (like boost.serialization) then with the 'dll options' you get all the stuff -- even if you don't use it. I'll just remind folks that boost.process *is* a template library...so the issue of it being 'template code' is relevant. System, on the other hand is non-template code so the issues are different.
