The Boost web site provides free peer-reviewed portable - C++ source libraries. The emphasis is on libraries which work - well with the C++ Standard Library. One goal is to establish - "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so - that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual - standardization. Some of the libraries have already been - proposed for inclusion in the C++ Standards - Committee's upcoming C++ Standard Library Technical - Report.

- -

Although Boost was begun by members of the C++ Standards - Committee Library Working Group, membership has expanded to - include nearly two thousand members of the C++ community at - large.
