  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; Most modern compilers support those major
  31. features fairly well. But even today, years after
  32. the adoption of the C++ Standard, some compilers still don't
  33. support important minor features like partial template specialization.</p>
  34. <p>Boost library authors often expend a great deal of effort
  35. trying to work around compiler deficiencies.&nbsp; Nevertheless,
  36. some libraries will not compile at all with certain compilers or
  37. may have crippled functionality.&nbsp; Even if the current
  38. release of a compiler supports a boost library, older version of
  39. the compiler may not work properly.</p>

  58. <p>Boost releases are run through a regression test which
  59. automatically generates the above tables. Unless otherwise
  60. indicated, the C++ Standard Library implementation is the one
  61. shipped with the compiler.</p>
  62. <p>The <a href="regression.cpp">regression.cpp</a> test program was contributed
  63. by Jens Maurer, generalizing and improving an earlier program by Beman Dawes.
  64. The <a href="compiler.cfg">compiler.cfg</a> and <a href="regression.cfg">regression.cfg
  65. </a>configuration files control the test.</p>
  66. <p><b>Warning:</b> These tables are not a good indication of a
  67. particular compiler's compliance with the C++ Standard.&nbsp; The
  68. boost libraries often contain workarounds which mask compiler
  69. deficiencies.</p>
  70. <p><b>Warning: </b>Some regression tests are compile
  71. only tests, or compile-and-link tests; the programs are not executed or otherwise tested.&nbsp;See
  72. the &quot;Test Type&quot; column in the tables. Even the compilation results may be spurious; many negative
  73. results stem from problems with the immature test suite rather
  74. that with the library or compiler.&nbsp; Furthermore, some
  75. library tests have not yet been included.</p>
