Beman,
I would like to know if you are yet interesteed on the header only version for Boost.System.
Best, Vicente
I'm interested in the concept, but we would need to do a lot better that the code in the sandbox: Much of boost/system/detail/inlined/error_code.hpp code duplicates libs/system/src/error_code.cpp code. That isn't acceptable since it would create a maintenance nightmare. Code for each component needs to be defined in a single file, with macro magic to abstract away the difference between the library. Having to do every maintenance fix in two places isn't practical - the code will certainly diverge over time. The test framework also needs more work. Testing only the inlined version doesn't give enough confidence the library version works OK. --Beman
