Couldn't you add a template parameter stating the thread model? This parameter can be by default single_threaded, and the user can set it also to multi_threaded. In this way you let the user of each xint::integer to decide if the library must ensure thread safety or not. That would solve the speed problem, but the dependency problem would remain -- the library would have to use Boost.Move and Boost.Thread always. (See the previous message in this thread for my reasons why that isn't desirable.) I don't think the dependency is a problem.
If I were using a library, I'd prefer that it didn't have an unnecessary dependency on another library that would require me to add that other library to my build system (which, at least under Linux, would be necessary),
Could you clarify? On Linux, the official way is the shared linking, and therefore the client does not need to care what dependencies libxint.so might have -- they will be picked up automatically. - Volodya
