- <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. Most modern compilers support those major
- features fairly well. But even today, years after
- the adoption of the C++ Standard, some compilers still don't
- support important minor 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>

- <p>Boost releases are run through a <a href="../more/regression.html"> regression test
- suite</a> which
- automatically generates the above tables. Unless otherwise
- indicated, the C++ Standard Library implementation is the one
- shipped with the compiler.</p>
- <p><b>Warning:</b> These tables are not a good indication of a
- particular compiler's compliance with the C++ Standard. The
- boost libraries often contain workarounds which mask compiler
- deficiencies.</p>
- <p><b>Warning: </b>Some regression tests are compile
- only tests, or compile-and-link tests; the programs are not executed or otherwise tested. See
- the "Test Type" column in the tables. Even the compilation results may be spurious; many negative
- results stem from problems with the immature test suite rather
- that with the library or compiler. Furthermore, some
- library tests have not yet been included.</p>
