The subject says it all What is the rational for not allowing copies of context objects?
At the time the wave::context object was developed it was not safe to be copied, and in fact it isn't so today. But AFAICS there is no real reason why it couldn't be made copyable (except for the reason that it's _very_ expensive to copy a wave::context object). There was just no usecase yet to make it copyable. Could you please describe in more detail your usecase? Since this change will be interface breaking it perhaps makes sense to adjust other interface deficies you may have as well? Regards Hartmut
