Re: Improving memory management in Calitko

Hi again,

boost is a very good template library and I think using it is a good idea but I am not sure whether one should include boost in a project when the project has already progressed so far as yours? Isn’t it tempting to start using a lot of the functionality in boost and rewriting code that may already be running? Worth discussing.

Regarding your coding style; One additional thing that I think would be good would to instead of passing pointers to functions use reference instead. That way several of the if (arg=null).. can be removed as well it forces the caller to supply proper arguments.

Would you like to post a relpy?
