I am not really an expert on what you'd use such a library for It seems like compile-time configurability is of much greater interest in general for problems you'd approach with dataflow, especially if you are using a DSEL to describe the system. In other words, when you actually *need* runtime configurability you'd probably want a graphical front-end or something, and the syntax of making connections in C++ wouldn't matter much. Am I missign something?
You're right - in fact I already put together a proof-of-concept editor which can be used with any framework that has a Dataflow library support layer.
Okay, but which applications need runtime configurability? Would not the performance advantages of a compile-time structure be more valuable than the flexibility of runtime configuration in most applications?
