<h1>Compiler Status</h1>

|
|
-<p>Will all boost libraries work with your compiler? Unfortunately, the
|
|
|
-answer is "it depends.".</p>
|
|
|
-<p>Boost libraries rely on modern C++ features such as templates and the C++
|
|
|
-Standard Library. But even today, years after the adoption of the C++
|
|
|
-Standard, some compilers still don't support important features like partial
|
|
|
-template specialization.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>Boost library authors often expend a great deal of effort trying to work
|
|
|
-around compiler deficiencies. Nevertheless, some libraries will not
|
|
|
-compile at all with certain compilers or may have crippled functionality.
|
|
|
-Even if the current release of a compiler supports a boost library, older
|
|
|
-version of the compiler may not work properly.</p>
