<h1>Compiler Status</h1>

<p>Will all boost libraries work with your compiler?&nbsp;
Unfortunately, the answer is &quot;it depends.&quot;.</p>

<p>Boost libraries rely on modern C++ features such as templates
and the C++ Standard Library.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; Nevertheless,
some libraries will not compile at all with certain compilers or
may have crippled functionality.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;See
the &quot;Test Type&quot; 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.&nbsp; Furthermore, some
library tests have not yet been included.</p>
