Re: [boost] [any] small buffer optimizations?

boost::any is not exactly optimal w.r.t. efficiency. Diggins implementation avoid allocation for objects smaller or equal to sizeof(void*). Personally I think this is too small a buffer; Boost.Function uses at least two words; I think it might be worth to go for 3 words.

Would anyone be interested in implementing this?

I think this would be a good idea as long as swap is a) correct (the version listed in the article isn't) b) no-throw. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
