<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; But even today, years after the adoption of the C++
Standard, some compilers still don't support important 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>
<h2>Compiler Status Tables</h2>

<p>Boost releases are run through a regression test 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>The regression test is under development and cannot yet be
relied upon.&nbsp; The current version is a compile only test; the programs are
not executed or otherwise tested.&nbsp; 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>
