Do we get a modern gcc-4.3 and boost-dev? Reason is that for esp. C++ code, g++-4.x can compile template code to much smaller code than g++-3.4. This is more true for shared objects. With boost spirit and mpl, one can create amazing small binaries. (proposal by koos) | Do we get a modern gcc-4.3 and boost-dev? Reason is that for esp.

| - | Well, this discussion may not be about Fremantle, but about a future Maemo OS that I have no idea which codename it would have if it was accepted ;) But, based on your proposal. XCB, from xcb.freedesktop.org: The X protocol C-language Binding (XCB) is a replacement for Xlib featuring a small footprint, latency hiding, direct access to the protocol, improved threading support, and extensibility. I believe this would obviously be a good part of a mobile platform, if it does not conflict with applications and that it is not CPU intensive, and instead helps on CPU usage and memory usage. ---[[User:stskeeps|stskeeps]] 19:27, 4 November 2008 (UTC) | + | * Well, this discussion may not be about Fremantle, but about a future Maemo OS that I have no idea which codename it would have if it was accepted ;) But, based on your proposal.
