Sure, boost ABI changes from release to release but unless you want to provide a "one-for-all" binary release of your library, what is the issue? Even libstdc++ ABI changes every now and then.
Not correct. GCC keeps ABI since gcc-3.4... And this is now about 6 years... Not bad?
Were people upset back then then ?
Yes. What's your point though? It's surely impossible to hope that a given binary library will be usable for decades. But breaking ABI once in 6 years (if not more) is surely better than potentially breaking ABI 4 times per year? - Volodya
