Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Boost emphasizes 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 Boost license
|
||
|
|
encourages both commercial and non-commercial use.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Boost aims 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
|
||
|
|
C++ Standards Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) as a step
|
||
|
|
toward becoming part of a future C++ Standard. More Boost libraries
|
||
|
|
are proposed for the upcoming TR2.
