Boost C++ Libraries

The Boost mailing lists are now also accessible as newsgroups. A powerful mailing list archive has been contributed by the ActiveState Programmer Network. Lambda Library added, ... [More] from Jaakko Jarvi and Gary Powell. Define small unnamed function objects at the actual call site: for_each( a.begin(), a.end(), std::cout << _1 << ' ' ); I/O State Saver Library added - Save I/O state to prevent jumbled data, from Daryle Walker. Configuration Library: User code should not use BOOST_NO_LIMITS. Random Number Library: Avoid compiler warnings. Smart Pointers Library: Added shared_polymorphic_cast and shared_polymorphic_downcast. Function Library: Now supports function objects with the unary & operator overloaded. Utility Library: Added addressof() function. The usual small fixes and tweaks. [Less]

Python Library: Scott Snyder contributed inplace operator support. Integer Library: Daryle Walker contributed enhancements to the type selection templates, and added new compile-time bit ... [More] mask, binary logarithm, and extrema templates. Function Library: user may request that boost::function objects store a reference to a function object target instead of a copy, using ref. Stateless objects are optimized so that they require no dynamic storage. Quaternions: added support for GCC 2.95.x. Octonions: added support for GCC 2.95.x. Smart Pointers Library: Peter Dimov contributed a new implementation that fixes some bugs and adds some features including thread safety when manipulating the use count, custom delete functions, a new weak_ptr, and shared_static_cast and shared_dynamic_cast. Preprocessor Library: changed macro prefix from BOOST_PREPROCESSOR to BOOST_PP, added support for list data structure manipulation, added examples, made library ANSI C friendly, added generalized repetition and iteration primitives, improved reference manual. Threads Library: Mac Carbon implementation contributed by Mac Murrett. Minor fixes to many libraries. [Less]

Common Factor Library added. Greatest common divisor and least common multiple, from Daryle Walker. Preprocessor Library added. Preprocessor metaprogramming tools including repetition and ... [More] recursion, from Vesa Karvonen. Iterator Adaptor Library: Added generator iterator adaptor, from Jens Maurer. Random Number Library: Removed iterator interface. Fixed overflows in uniform_int<>. Both changes cause random number sequences to differ compared to previous boost releases. [phase library..operators.hpp:] Improvements from Daryle and Helmut Ziesel Boost.Build: Continuing improvements, including pre-built Boost.Jam executables. Minor fixes to a number of other libraries. [Less]

Boost Build System: Continued improvements. Config Library: Continued refinements. Graph Library: Final cleanup for upcoming the Boost Graph Library book. ... [More] Thread Library: Minor fixes - tests now pass on most Win32 and POSIX systems including Linux and Solaris. Semaphore removed as too error prone. Function Library: direct support for member function pointers and documentation updates. Boost-Users mailing list has been created to address topics of interest to users of Boost libraries. Boost Wiki web added. Provides a place for Boost users to openly discuss and document the use of Boost libraries. It is not officially maintained by Boost developers. [Less]
