Design Issues

This page documents some design questions that should be either fixed, or documented.

Features

The feature properties are not 100% orthogonal. Say, there's nothing wrong, in theory, about propagating a free feature.

It's not known what's right guideline for 'incidental' features -- are those features that have no significant effect on anything? Or are those features that just don't show up in paths?

Targets

The current alternative selection is not very robust, see #16. Both that issue and AlternativeSelection have some ideas how to improve that. Maybe, it is possible to provide explicit way to select alternative using procedural code.

Generators

Should make it possible to implement mass compilation of C++ sources -- in one compiler invocations.
