Re: [boost] [system] Why is this not header-only?

Since what I have to say is not a response to any specific message, I'm only answering to the thread. I'm very inclined to build libraries, rather than header-only. And that's not *only* because of compile-times. But visual C++ chokes on very big translation files, emiting errors about the compiler being out of keys. The only workaround I found was splitting it in more files and hiding some dependencies. This is quite common when using together very big libraries, e.g. serialization, multi_index, spirit, etc. Most of the time I don't need them together, but there are times when the same function uses more than one. Splitting it means an artificial separation and harder maintenance. -- Felipe Magno de Almeida
