I CC'd this to the list.. hope you don't mind.
Imagine that there are 2 compile time options. Each have a value of either
on or off. That leaves us 4 different possible binaries. Now, if you have
4 different platforms to support, which is common, we're talking 16
different binaries.
I haven't looked at the blackbox code at all, so I'm curious how much of a
performance hit we will really take by doing something like:
.
.
.
if (userWantsToolbar){
}
.
.
.
If it isn't much, I don't see how making it a compile time option is
beneficial over a runtime, especially if you have multiple platforms. Does
anyone know for sure what the hit will be?
