Hi Luc, The case I foresee is wanting people to add compiled code for reading new image formats in iotbx - it would be great if they could do this at run-time, conforming to some abstract interface. Best wishes, Graeme On 16 Aug 2012, at 16:14, Luc Bourhis wrote:
Hi Graeme,
It seems that Boost includes (or may include) a mechanism to allow compiled plugins see for example
http://boost-extension.redshoelace.com/docs/boost/extension/boost_extension/...
- is this in cctbx? is anyone interested in it being available? It seems useful from where I am sat.
could you give an example of use you foresee in the context of the cctbx? As I am afraid this is one of those advanced software engineering concepts that I can't comprehend even what problem it tries to address!
Best wishes,
Luc
