I second that, and may I also suggest adding allocator to boost::any like in boost::shared_ptr and boost::function? Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode On Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 1:33 PM, Thorsten Ottosen <thorsten.ottosen@dezide.com> wrote:
Hi,
As eplained in
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/dynamic_typing.aspx
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?
best regards
