12:30 <K-ballo> simbergm: slightly.. pretty good, considering

14:51 <heller> So, agent_ref or agent_proxy?

14:52 <hkaiser> heller: as you like it, it's not user-facing, so it's not that important

14:53 <heller> Depends on which type of user we're talking about

14:53 <hkaiser> 99of the users

14:53 <hkaiser> 99

14:53 <hkaiser> percent

14:53 <heller> The API is exposed to uses wanting to extend whatever we come up with

14:53 <heller> I guess

14:54 <hkaiser> sure

14:54 <hkaiser> agent_ref is fine

14:55 <hkaiser> I like the other better but can live with this

14:57 <heller> Why do you prefer proxy?

14:58 <hkaiser> difficult to anser

14:59 <hkaiser> function_ref is more of a 'permanent' reference to a function whereas the agent_ref is created locally and on a temporary basis - but this is a weak argument

14:59 <hkaiser> agent_ref is just fine, I guess

19:59 <hkaiser> USTROBE: I think this whole paragraph is wrong nowadays

19:59 <hkaiser> on windows, just use vcpkg, on linux you have to ask somebody else ;-)

20:06 <zao> hkaiser: Feels a bit like a cop-out answer screwing over people who can't vcpkg for reasons. I definitely couldn't use it for any projects I've made. A text that uses those FindBoost defines should be largely platform-agnostic unless someone has screwed it up somewhere again.

20:06 <zao> Saying that everyone should just use vcpkg is like saying everyone should just use Conan :P

20:08 <zao> Do you say anything about what kind of build you need of Boost libraries by the way?

20:08 <zao> Dynamic linked, dynamic runtime?

20:12 <zao> Anyway, I'm not an user, take my thoughts with whatever fistfuls of salt you care about :)

20:14 <USTOBRE> @zao The section of the manual I'm looking at doesn't mention it. However, it could be located under a different section or use different wording. Do you think it's something that is important to mention?

20:17 <zao> Depends on what Hartmut's stance on Windows is. If the only supported method of using Boost is vcpkg, then Windows-specific instructions for using it via some other route aren't that releveant, unless you have actual needs to stray from the "supported" configuration.

20:48 <hkaiser> zao: lol - yah sure
