                        <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
                        <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21">C++

                        TR1</a>) as a step toward becoming part of a future
                        C++ Standard. More Boost libraries are proposed for
                        the upcoming <a href=

                          This library does not itself implement the TR1
                          components, rather it's a thin wrapper that will
                          include your standard library's TR1 implementation
                          (if it has one), otherwise it will include the
                          Boost Library equivalents, and import them into
                          namespace <code>std::tr1</code>. Highlights
                          include: Reference Wrappers, Smart Pointers,

                              <li>The overall error handling has been
                              improved. It is now possible to recover and
                              continue after an error or a warning was

                              <li>The overall performance has been improved by upto 
                              40-60%, depending on the concrete files to process. </li>

                              <li>Support for new pragmas has been added allowing to

                               preprocessed sources (partial output redirection,

                        <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
