  26. <h1>Compiler Status</h1>
  27. <p>Will all boost libraries work with your compiler?&nbsp;
  28. Unfortunately, the answer is &quot;it depends.&quot;.</p>
  29. <p>Boost libraries rely on modern C++ features such as templates
  30. and the C++ Standard Library.&nbsp; But even today, years after
  31. the adoption of the C++ Standard, some compilers still don't
  32. support important features like partial template specialization.</p>
  33. <p>Boost library authors often expend a great deal of effort
  34. trying to work around compiler deficiencies.&nbsp; Nevertheless,
  35. some libraries will not compile at all with certain compilers or
  36. may have crippled functionality.&nbsp; Even if the current
  37. release of a compiler supports a boost library, older version of
  38. the compiler may not work properly.</p>

  54. <p>Boost releases are run through a regression test which
  55. automatically generates the above tables. Unless otherwise
  56. indicated, the C++ Standard Library implementation is the one
  57. shipped with the compiler.</p>
  58. <p><b>Warning:</b> These tables are not a good indication of a
  59. particular compiler's compliance with the C++ Standard.&nbsp; The
  60. boost libraries often contain workarounds which mask compiler
  61. deficiencies.</p>
  62. <p><b>Warning: </b>The regression test is under development and
  63. cannot yet be relied upon.&nbsp; The current version is a compile
  64. only test; the programs are not executed or otherwise tested.&nbsp;
  65. Even the compilation results may be spurious; many negative
  66. results stem from problems with the immature test suite rather
  67. that with the library or compiler.&nbsp; Furthermore, some
  68. library tests have not yet been included.</p>
