We can't accept the Standard Library ABI in our ABI as per previous decisions (that I guess will be revisited once we get the QUIP on it up). But GSL is another story. If it is sensibly developed, with a promise to binary compatibility for extended periods of time and no nonsense stuff like inline namespaces, we could accept it. Especially the header-only parts of it. As for whether we can accept in our *API*, that depends on whether we would force our users to learn something alien to Qt or it, and what the benefits would be. Similar to the "empty()" function case. PS: IMO, the name of the library is inconvenient. It's too close to GLSL and GST (GStreamer). Of course, not a reason not to use it. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
