The Boost libraries provide free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
|
|
The emphasis is on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library.
|
|
The libraries are intended to be widely useful, and are in regular use by thousands of programmers across a broad spectrum of applications.
|
|
|
|
A further goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization.
|
|
Ten Boost libraries will be included in the C++ Standards Committee's upcoming C++ Standard Library Technical Report as a step toward becoming part of a future C++ Standard.
