Hi all, We'd really like to use the latest boost, mainly so that we can use small_vector in a zillion places and avoid extra memory allocations. The distros, as always, are behind. The thoguht is to bring it in as yet another submodule, build it statically (it's pretty fast), and link statically. There are a handful of places where the distro boost links dynamically. For example, on xenial, it's libboost-iostreams1.58.0 libboost-program-options1.58.0 libboost-random1.58.0 libboost-system1.58.0 libboost-thread1.58.0 I'm not sure how we should deal with that. We could simply link it statically. Alternatively, we could ship packages.. but if we do that we might as well just conditionally build against the new features and then build a full set of backported boost packages for the distros we care about. I'm not sure how to best proceed. But it would be really great to get access to new boost features like small_vector... sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
