Hi, I have been using Boot for desktop applications and I'm very happy with it. It allows me to write portable and reusable code on all the platforms I've been supporting. I also develop C++ applications for small embedded devices, that have very limited ROM and RAM capabilities (several hundreds of kilo bytes of ROM and dozens of kilobytes of RAM). The Boost libraries cannot be used as is for these devices, since the OSes (RTOS I should say) that run on these devices are not supported by Boost. Then my code for these devices is not as portable and reusable as I which it would be. I've developed my own accross-platform generic interface for these devices and it's starting to look like Boost... Except it's not Boost and it's still very proprietary, in the niche sense. I am very interested in having a (real) lite version of Boost for these embedded devices, even if it only consists of stub functions. Is there already an on going effort to do this? Again, the idea is a lite version, something that would fit in less than 30% of the memory of a microcontroller. Jean-Sebastien
