Please scroll through this list and check out how many people are talking about things like 'problems linking boost on XXXXX'. -- wait, you wont have to scroll far will you :) Somebody just posted a new one!
Yeah, shocking how many people don't know how to use their compiler+linker. ;-)
Yeah, maybe, but boost should at least _try_ to be easy to for newbies as well as experts right? That would also help you by reducing the number of times you have to say RTFM ;-) I think that Tom's point was that gil is a 'generic' library and is all-headers (it must be, it is generic), so adding a feature that would require a _new_ depency on _another_ library, particularly one that has to be compiled, would be a big hassle. The feature had better be REAL important, or it should be ommitted. Expert or not, you have to agree that adding a new build dependancy is more of a hassle than not doing so. I dont think that the comment had to do with moving chunks of code from a '.cpp' file into a '.hpp' file, I think that would be silly (except maybe for the way Boost.Test does it optionally ...). -- John
