I'm forwarding this from the boost-build list to get a broader perspective from boost users and probably also some Boost.Build users that don't monitor that list.
How many agree with Steven that for <variant>debug: "The libraries that are built need to be ABI compatible with code that isn't compiled using Boost.Build."
How many would sacrifice ABI compatibility in order for <runtime-debugging>on to actually do something for GCC?
Don't sacrifice ABI compatibility. Make a superdebug variant or something.
+1. The runtime penalties could also be too steep for some programs, even when you're just debugging. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing Software Development Training http://www.boostpro.com Clang/LLVM/EDG Compilers C++ Boost
