Dear users and members of Boost,
I'm proud to announce that the formal review of Joaquín M López Muñoz's boost::container::hub container, for inclusion in the Boost.Container library, starts today ( in my timezone ;-) ), April 16, and runs through April 26.
I'm not sure if we've already had this discussion or not but I'd actually suggest considering putting Hub either in its own library or one that's unconditionally header-only.
My concern here is that if we put Hub into Container, people looking for Hub and using CMake will wind up using Boost::container which I fear transitively carries a binary dependency.
I was certainly not an optimal decision to make Boost.Container compiled for some functions. I don't think those functions are very popular, and maybe Boost.Container should contain in the future the code that the user should put in its own DLL (say, globals for PMR, allocators, etc.). In the latest CMakeLists.txt there is a BOOST_CONTAINER_HEADER_ONLY option to avoid the binary dependency: https://github.com/boostorg/container/blob/boost-1.90.0/CMakeLists.txt Best, Ion
