<h2 class="title">Welcome to the Boost C++ Libraries</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library.
|
||
|
|
Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad
|
||
|
|
spectrum of applications. The <a href=
|
||
|
|
"http://www.boost.org/users/license.html">Boost license</a> encourages both
|
||
|
|
commercial and non-commercial use.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
|
||
|
|
implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
|
||
|
|
standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the <a href=
|
||
|
|
"http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">C++ Standards Committee's</a>
|
||
|
|
Library Technical Report (<a href=
|
||
|
|
"http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1745.pdf">TR1</a>)
|
||
|
|
and will be included in the upcoming revision of the C++ Standard. More
|
||
|
|
Boost libraries are proposed for the upcoming <a href=
|
||
|
|
"http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1810.html">TR2</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Changes in this release</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The release includes updates to many existing libraries.
|
||
|
|
See
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_76_0.html">Release
|
||
|
|
History</a> for more information.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Getting Started</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If Boost hasn't already been installed on your system, follow the
|
||
|
|
<a href="more/getting_started/index.html">Getting Started Guide</a> to
|
||
|
|
complete the installation. But if you've reached to this point by
|
||
|
|
installing Boost from a Windows pre-build executable or a pre-built Linux
|
||
|
|
and Unix distribution package, that's already been completed. Likewise, if
|
||
|
|
you're reading this on your organization's internal web server, the
|
||
|
|
installation is probably already complete.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Contents</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The release directory tree contains almost all of Boost; documentation,
|
||
|
|
sources, headers, scripts, tools, and everything else a Boost user might
|
||
|
|
need!</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Library Documentation</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The starting point for the documentation of individual libraries is the
|
||
|
|
<a href="libs/libraries.htm">Libraries page</a>, which gives a brief
|
||
|
|
description of each library and links to its documentation.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Web Site</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Some general interest or often changing Boost information lives only on
|
||
|
|
the <a href="http://www.boost.org">Boost web site</a>. The release contains
|
||
|
|
links to the site, so while browsing it you'll see occasional broken links
|
||
|
|
if you aren't connected to the Internet. But everything needed to use the
|
||
|
|
Boost libraries is contained within the release.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Background</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Read the <a href="http://www.boost.org/users/">introductory material</a>
|
||
|
|
to help you understand what Boost is about and to help in educating your
|
||
|
|
organization about Boost.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Community</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Boost welcomes and thrives on participation from a variety of
|
||
|
|
individuals and organizations. Many avenues for participation are available
|
||
|
|
in the <a href="http://www.boost.org/community/">Boost Community</a>.</p>
