<h2><a name="Introduction">Introduction</a></h2>

<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 versions 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 Compiler Status Tables for various platforms. Unless otherwise
indicated, the C++ Standard Library implementation is the one
shipped with the compiler.</p>

<h2>Compiler Status <a name="Tables"> Tables</a></h2>

<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>

<h2><a name="Understanding">Understanding</a> the Tables</h2>

<p>A table might look like this:</p>

<blockquote>

<p><b>Run Date:</b> 21 Sep 2001 15:31 GMT</p>
<p><b>System Configuration:</b> Microsoft Windows 32bit</p>
<p>&nbsp;
<table border="1" cellPadding="5" cellSpacing="0">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Program</td>
      <td>Test<br>
        Type</td>
      <td>BelchFire<br>
        Rev 5280</td>
      <td>WorkHorse<br>
        5.3</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>libs/foo/test/foo_test.cpp</td>
      <td>compile</td>
      <td>Pass</td>
      <td>Pass</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>libs/bar/bar_test.cpp</td>
      <td>run</td>
      <td><font color="#ff0000">Fail</font></td>
      <td>Pass</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

</blockquote>

<p>The <i>Run Date</i> is important because the regression tests which create
the status tables are run asynchronously, and thus may not represent the most
current Boost release.</p>

<p>The <i>Program</i> column identifies the actual source file for the
test.&nbsp; Each row in the table represents a different test.</p>

<p>The <i>Test Type</i> column identifies the type of test performed:</p>

<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellSpacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td><b>Test Type</b></td>
    <td><b>Action</b></td>
    <td><b>Required to <i>Pass</i></b></td>
    <td><b>Description and Use</b></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>compile</td>
    <td>compile only</td>
    <td>Compiler returns 0.</td>
    <td>Verify that a source file will compile correctly, but without any
      attempt to link or execute.&nbsp; Used when factors such as possible
      object library unavailability make a run test impractical.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>compile-fail</td>
    <td>compile only</td>
    <td>Compiler must return non-zero.</td>
    <td>Verify that a source file fails to compile. Used to verify that an
      expected compile-time error was detected.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>link</td>
    <td>compile, link</td>
    <td>Both compiler &amp; linker return 0.</td>
    <td>Verify that a source file will compile and link correctly, but without
      any attempt to execute the result.&nbsp; Used when factors such as
      possible data file unavailability make a run test impractical.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>link-fail</td>
    <td>compile, link</td>
    <td>Either the compiler or linker must return non-zero.</td>
    <td>Verify that a source file fails to compile and link. Used to verify that
      error detect which depends on unresolved externals works correctly.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>run</td>
    <td>compile, link, execute</td>
    <td>Compiler, linker, and executable must all return 0.</td>
    <td>Verify that a source file compiles, links, and the resulting program
      executes correctly (as indicated by a zero return code.)&nbsp; This is the
      primary test type for most uses.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>run-fail</td>
    <td>compile, link, execute</td>
    <td>Both compiler and linker must return 0, and the executable must return
      non-zero.</td>
    <td>Verify that a source file compiles and links correctly, and that
      execution of the resulting program detects some error.&nbsp; Used to
      verify runtime error detection code works properly.</td>
  </tr>
</table>

<p>Each remaining column in the table represents the individual compiler
indicated. Unless otherwise
indicated, the C++ Standard Library implementation is the one
shipped with the compiler. A <i>Pass</i> entry indicates success for the
indicated <i>Test Type</i>, while a <font color="#ff0000"><i>Fail</i></font>
entry indicates failure. See <i>Required to Pass</i> in the above table for
specifics.&nbsp;</p>
