Any ideas on what we would like to keep "un-modularized" for now?
Looking at the dependency
graph here are my own thoughts on which libraries should probably be
kept un-modularized for now:
mpl
functional
integer
detail
utility
exception
function
preprocessor
concept_check
concept
config
type_traits
static_assert
iterator
tuple
smart_ptr
The latest dependency graph can be found at:
http://www.bluequartz.net/dependencies.pdf
I have also create another graph with the proposed changes above:
http://www.bluequartz.net/dependencies-core.pdf
On the "core" graph circular dependencies are labeled with colors (red
or green), compiled libraries are a brownish color and trapezoidal in
shape. The "Core" libraries are a greenish-blue and are list at the
top of the graph.
Comments on any of the above is most welcome.
