I disagree. Generic programming techniques can be used to sort out the data-type idiosyncrasies. See GIL for instance: a library that is so flexible as to what component types should be without sacrificing speed and ease of use.
Joel, this is exactly why we want to contribute GTL to boost to harness the knowledge of folks like you. Yes, there may be generic programming techniques that take care of the idiosyncracies and we welcome ideas, code examples. GTL is relatively generic i.e. it abstracts the user data away, and - as my colleague Lucanus mentioned - it has a typedef for the number type. I'm sure there are many ways to make it even more generic. My current focus is to work through the Intel legal channels to be able to put the code out there. From the e-mail traffic so far I'm sensing that there's genuine interest in it, and I'm happy about that. regards Gyuszi
