Now that typeof has been checked into the CVS tree, what are the chances that we can get implementations of remove_pointer, remove_bounds, remove_reference, etc. for VC6 and VC7? See the attached message for a link to a typeof-based implementation.
I would like to this this happen. It would fix problems in Boost.Range and Boost.Foreach for those compilers.
I'd like to see a comparison of compilation times between the old and the new implementation and the latter being stress tested on Boost.Python tests before it officially replaces the current code.
I'm not sure what you mean. The "current code" for remove_pointer, et al. for VC6 and VC7 is broken -- it does nothing. You want to see a performance comparison between code that doesn't work and code that does. Why? -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
