Why not? Sure it has the overhead of checking validity against every new stdlib that comes around, but you've already commited to this kind of activity with the workarounds on float_functions.hpp Besides, the amount of work needed to accommodate a new library is 0 in most cases and negligible in the rare cases where extra template parms are used.
Sorry, I meant: 'I'm not happy with the current situation either'.
I suppose if there are any real problems with providing our own declarations then someone will point them out soon. Anyone?
Such forwarding headers would be a real boon as a separate Boost library, if avoiding the unnecessary inclusion of standard library headers is a compile-time performance win. Peter suggests that it really doesn't matter much. I guess you'd have to create them and run tests against a large body of code to see what impact it actually has on build times. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
