A question to you boost users: boost1.33 builds 4 versions of each of
the libboost* libraries, static/dynamic as well release/debug variants,
for example
% ls /sw/lib/libboost_regex*
/sw/lib/libboost_regex-1_33_1.a
/sw/lib/libboost_regex-d-1_33_1.dylib /sw/lib/libboost_regex.a
/sw/lib/libboost_regex-1_33_1.dylib /sw/lib/libboost_regex-d.a
/sw/lib/libboost_regex.dylib
/sw/lib/libboost_regex-d-1_33_1.a /sw/lib/libboost_regex-d.dylib
Yes, there are 8 in the list, but 4 of them are symlinks or hard links.
But now boost1.34 wants to build single/multi-threading variants as
well, which brings the number of variants per library to 8 (or 16 with
links). This also doubles the build time, as far as I understand.
The question is:
Are these variants really used by anyone? In particular the value added
by the debug variants seems questionable to me. They are also 10 times
bigger than the release variants. Are both the single and
multi-threading variants being used?
