Re: [boost] [forward_declare] Interest Inquiry toward Faster Compile Times

Hi, Agreed on the general idea, quite interesting indeed, thanks for sharing. Isn't there a space cost as well ? First the way you did you require one more byte for each object (why by the way?) which means that each "fwd" in a sequence will have something like 7 bytes of padding after it when compiling for 64 bit systems. Hopefully there aren't any alignment problems when using "fwd" but I am not expert enough to be sure, have you considered it ? Regards, Julien
