-
-
New Libraries
-
-
- - Foreach Library:
- BOOST_FOREACH macro for easily iterating
- over the elements of a sequence, from Eric
- Niebler.
-
- - Statechart
- Library: Arbitrarily complex finite state
- machines can be implemented in easily readable and
- maintainable C++ code, from Andreas Huber.
-
- - TR1 Library: An
- implementation of the C++ Technical Report on
- Standard Library Extensions, from John Maddock.
- This library does not itself implement the TR1
- components, rather it's a thin wrapper that will
- include your standard library's TR1 implementation
- (if it has one), otherwise it will include the
- Boost Library equivalents, and import them into
- namespace
std::tr1
. Highlights
- include: Reference Wrappers, Smart Pointers,
- result_of, Function Object Binders, Polymorphic
- function wrappers, Type Traits, Random Number
- Generators and Distributions, Tuples, Fixed Size
- Array, Hash Function Objects, Regular Expressions,
- and Complex Number Additional Algorithms.
-
- - Typeof
- Library: Typeof operator emulation,
- from Arkadiy Vertleyb and Peder Holt.
-
- - Xpressive
- Library: Regular expressions that can be
- written as strings or as expression templates, and
- that can refer to each other and themselves
- recursively with the power of context-free
- grammars, from Eric Niebler.
-
-
-
Updated Libraries
-
-
-
- -
- Assign
- Library:
-
-
- - Support for
-
ptr_map<key,T>
via the new
- function ptr_map_insert()
-
- - Support for initialization of Pointer
- Containers when the containers hold
- pointers to an abstract base class.
-
-
-
- -
- Date_time library:
-
- - Support for new US/Canada timezone rules and
- other bug fixes. See
- Change History
- for details.
-
-
-
-
- -
- Filesystem
- Library: Major upgrade in preparation
- for submission to the C++ Standards Committee for
- TR2. Changes include:
-
-
- -
- Internationalization, provided by class
- templates basic_path,
- basic_filesystem_error,
- basic_directory_iterator, and
- basic_directory_entry.
-
- - Simplification
- of the path interface by eliminating special
- constructors to identify native formats.
-
- -
- Rationalization of predicate function
- design, including the addition of several new
- functions.
-
- - Clearer specification by reference to
- POSIX,
- the ISO/IEEE Single Unix Standard, with
- provisions for Windows and other operating
- systems.
-
- - Preservation
- of existing user code whenever possible.
-
- - More
- efficient directory iteration.
-
- - Addition of a
- recursive directory iterator.
-
-
-
- - Function
- Library: Boost.Function now implements a
- small buffer optimization, which can drastically
- improve the performance when copying or
- constructing Boost.Function objects storing small
- function objects. For instance,
-
bind(&X:foo, &x, _1, _2)
- requires no heap allocation when placed into a
- Boost.Function object.
-
- -
- Functional/Hash
- Library
-
-
- - Use declarations for standard classes, so
- that the library doesn't need to include all of
- their headers
-
- - Deprecated the
- <boost/functional/hash/*.hpp>
- headers.
-
- - Add support for the
- BOOST_HASH_NO_EXTENSIONS macro, which
- disables the extensions to TR1
-
- - Minor improvements to the hash functions
- for floating point numbers.
-
-
-
- -
- Graph
- Library:
-
-
-
-
- - MultiArray
- Library: Boost.MultiArray now by default
- provides range-checking for
-
operator[]
. Range checking can be
- disabled by defining the macro
- BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS
before including
- multi_array.hpp. A bug in
- multi_array::resize()
related
- to storage orders was fixed.
-
- -
- Multi-index
- Containers Library:
-
-
-
-
- -
- Optional Library:
-
-
- boost::none_t and boost::none
now added to Optional's documentation
- - Relational operators now directly support arguments of type
'T'
and 'none_t'
- - operator->() now also works with reference types.
- - Helper functions
make_optional(val), make_optional(cond,val) and
- get_optional_value_or(opt,alternative_value)
added.
- - Constructor taking a boolean condition (as well as a value) added.
- - Member function
get_value_or(alternative_value)
added.
- - Incompatbility bug with mpl::apply<> fixed.
- - Converting assignment bug with uninitialized lvalues fixed.
-
-
-
- -
- Parameter
- Library:
-
-
- - Every ArgumentPack is now a valid MPL
- Forward Sequence.
-
- - Support for unnamed arguments (those whose
- keyword is deduced from their types) is
- added.
-
- - Support for named and unnamed template
- arguments is added.
-
- - New overload generation macros solve the
-
- forwarding problem directly.
-
- - See also the Python library changes,
- below.
-
-
-
- -
- Pointer Container
- Library:
-
-
- - Support for serialization via Boost.Serialization.
-
- - Exceptions can be disabled by defining the
- macro BOOST_PTR_CONTAINER_NO_EXCEPTIONS before
- including any header. This macro is defined by
- default if BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS is defined.
-
- - Additional
-
std::auto_ptr<T>
overloads
- added s.t. one can also pass
- std::auto_ptr<T>
instead of
- only T*
arguments to member
- functions.
-
- transfer()
now has weaker
- requirements s.t. one can transfer objects from
- ptr_container<Derived>
to
- ptr_container<Base>
,
-
-
-
- -
- Python
- Library:
-
-
- - Boost.Python now automatically appends C++
- signatures to docstrings. The new
- docstring_options.hpp
header is
- available to control the content of
- docstrings.
-
- -
-
stl_input_iterator
, for
- turning a Python iterable object into an STL
- input iterator, from Eric Niebler.
-
- - Support for
void*
conversions
- is added.
-
- - Integrated support for wrapping C++
- functions built with the parameter library;
- keyword names are automatically known to
- docsstrings.
-
- - Enhancements to the API for better embedding support
- (
boost::python::import()
,
- boost::python::exec()
,
- and boost::python::exec_file()
).
-
-
-
-
- - Signals Library:
- More improvements to signal invocation performance from
- Robert Zeh.
-
- -
- Smart
- Pointers Library:
-
-
-
-
- -
-
- String Algorithm Library:
-
-
- lexicographical_compare
- join
- -
- New comparison predicates
is_less
, is_not_greater
.
-
- -
- Negative indexes support (like Perl) in various algorihtms
- (
*_head/tail
, *_nth
).
-
-
-
- -
- Wave
- Library:
-
-
- - Wave now correctly recognizes pp-number
- tokens as mandated by the C++ Standard, which
- are converted to C++ tokens right before they
- are returned from the library.
-
- - Several new preprocessing hooks have been
- added. For a complete description please refer
- to the related documentation page: The
- Context Policy.
-
- - Shared library (dll) support has been added
- for the generated Wave libraries.
-
- - The overall error handling has been
- improved. It is now possible to recover and
- continue after an error or a warning was
- issued.
-
- - Support for optional comment and/or full
- whitespace preservation in the generated output
- stream has been added.
-
- - The Wave library now performs automatic
- include guard detection to avoid accessing header
- files more than once, if appropriate.
-
- - Full interactive mode has been added to the Wave
- tool. Now the Wave tool can be used just like Python
- or Perl for instance to interactively try out your
- BOOST_PP macros. Additionally it is now possible to
- load and save the current state of an interactive session
- (macro tables et.al.).
-
- - The overall performance has been improved by upto
- 40-60%, depending on the concrete files to process.
-
- - Support for new pragmas has been added allowing to
- control certain library features from inside the
- preprocessed sources (partial output redirection,
- control of generated whitespace and #line directives).
-
- - Optional support for #pragma message "..."
- has been added.
-
- - This version also includes a number of bug
- fixes and usage improvements. For a complete
- list of changes, see the libraries change log.

Supported Compilers

New in this release is improved support for

Boost is tested on a wide range of compilers and
platforms. Since Boost libraries rely on modern C++
features not available in all compilers, not all
