Re: [boost] bcp: towards a library dependency list

I've just committed some changes to bcp that give it a shortened list option:

bcp --list-short

truncates the list so you just see directory names where appropriate

Amazing... :-)

Now, here's the question: what did the folks who were asking for this functionality actually want to use the information for?

We need to generate a dependency graph or some "uses" and "used by" lists for each of the libraries. This information has many uses, e.g. the assessment of likely collateral damage if a library is modified and fails to function. Jim
