Re: [boost] [compute] kernels as strings impairs readability and maintainability

Another concern is that Boost.Compute is a header-only library and doesn't control the build system or how it the library will be loaded. This limits our ability to pre-compile certain programs and "install" them for later use by the library.

Given that Boost.Compute relies on Boost.Chrono, and Boost.Chrono is not a head-only library, I don't see a strong reason why Boost.Compute should stay header-only if that blocks some interesting and/or important features. Just my 2 cents as a library user :) Cheers - Asbjørn
