<p>Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++
|
|
source libraries.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++
|
|
Standard Library. Boost libraries are intended to be
|
|
widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of
|
|
applications. The <a href=
|
|
"more/license_info.html">Boost license</a> encourages
|
|
both commercial and non-commercial use.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We aim to establish "existing practice" and
|
|
provide reference implementations so that Boost
|
|
libraries are suitable for eventual standardization.
|
|
Ten Boost libraries are already included in the
|
|

<li>Wave now correctly recognizes pp-number

are converted to C++ tokens right before they

|
are returned from the library.</li>
|
|
|

<li>Several new preprocessing hooks have been
|
|
added. For a complete description please refer

|
to the related documentation page: <a href=

|
"libs/wave/doc/class_reference_ctxpolicy.html">The

for the generated Wave libraries.</li>

improved. It is now possible to recover and

continue after an error or a warning was

issued.</li>

<li>Support for optional comment and/or full

whitespace preservation in the generated output

<li>The Wave library now performs automatic

include guard detection to avoid accessing header

files more than once, if appropriate. </li>
|

|
|
<li>Full interactive mode has been added to the Wave
|
|
tool. Now the Wave tool can be used just like Python
|
|
or Perl for instance to interactively try out your
|
|
BOOST_PP macros. Additionally it is now possible to
|
|
load and save the current state of an interactive session

(macro tables et.al.).</li>

40-60%, depending on the concrete files to process. </li>

<li>Support for new pragmas has been added allowing to
|
|
control certain library features from inside the

preprocessed sources (partial output redirection,

control of generated whitespace and #line directives).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Optional support for #pragma message "..."

<h4>Supported Compilers</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Boost is tested on a wide range of compilers and
|
|
platforms. Since Boost libraries rely on modern C++
|
|
features not available in all compilers, not all
|
|
Boost libraries will work with every compiler. The
|
|
following compilers and platforms have been
|
|
extensively tested with Boost, although many other
|
|
compilers and platforms will work as well. For more
|
|
information, see the <a href=
|
|

|

test results</a>.</p>
