While I very much agree with the goal of this proposal, I also believe that boost is, for the most part, unsuitable for serious SPU code. I have been writing Cell algorithms (mixed PPU and SPU) for the last year and a half, and code-size was a serious issue. While we have been using C++ on the SPU side, too, we were extremely careful not only not to use the standard library, but also about whether to use templates, and template instances.
Well I do the same and I never felt oppressed by the overhead of template instanciation. I use MPL, Proto and function_traits all day long in various DSEL for the Cell and never encountered such problems. Mathias Gaunard a écrit :
I would say it's linking against the standard library that is a problem or not. Ideally, a good compiler should also be able to remove unused symbols at link-time, making that a non-issue.
Yes sorry of course. Seems in fact that it's linking with iostream that cause most of the problems. Concerning the quality of the compiler, well ... I won't anything :s
