Sounds reasonable to me. I -believe- the intention (back in the day) was to have a plain C implementation to avoid compiler / dependency issues there: on the other hand, I no longer believe in a stand-alone future for UNO separate from LibreOffice, so we should do whatever works best for ourselves I think - ie. use boost where it makes sense (and in a tasteful way (cough) ;-) Does that mean we should use some of the boost system abstractions instead of our own home-brewed ones where appropriate - perhaps ;-) - is that what underlies the question ? clearly if they perform better it'd be lovely - is there some low-hanging fruit here ? I was wondering if we could inline perhaps optimise out lots of atomic referencing operations around the place :-) Regards, Michael. -- michael.me...@novell.com , Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

We have map files to limit what symbols are exported, so we should be ok to use boost in the headers without accidentally changing the ABI depending on what boost gets used, or when boost gets updated, modified. So I can't think of a particular reason against it. Was there a policy against using boost in sal/cppu/etc ?
