The parsing code was rewritten by silene in 2005; he was one of the core Boost constributors at the time. I'm sure he would have been very happy to have had Boost as a dependency. This would also allow big chunks of code to be simplified and replaced with more robust versions from the library (the file system code being one such area, parsing, graph reachability and matrix manipulation being others). However, at the time, IIRC the additional resource requirements seemed prohibitive so this wasn't pursued. It might be worth checking how much overhead Boost adds with someone who has solid experience with it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list Wesnoth-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
