So, at least I need to include alignment_of.hpp which is so heavy it practically nullifies my efforts to pimpl the U type away in the cpp.
Have a look at boost/intrusive/detail/mpl.hpp, there's a alignment_of with the following comment
//boost::alignment_of yields to 10K lines of preprocessed code, so we //need an alternative
Since it's in detail, maybe it's safe to check with the author (Ion?) first..
I would prefer to fix this dependency problem. AFAICT it only exists for VC6/7 support of mpl lambda expressions with boost type traits. Is this the only trait that exhibits that level of dependency?
FWIW, I think we should be removing VC 6 and 7.0 workarounds, particularly in libraries where there is some real downside to continued support for these now long obsolete compilers. --Beman
