I noticed this while reading the Gandiva codebase as part of the C++ precompiled kernels revamp project. In general we've tried to reduce our use of Boost -- if we can eliminate Boost altogether from library builds in the future that would be ideal.
I replaced usages of
boost::hash_combine
(vendored),boost::iequals
(reimplemented), andboost::algorithm::to_lower_copy
(reimplemented). There's a little bit of code scrubbing / IWYU fixes also.The only Boost remaining is boost/multiprecision (for int256_t)
