Boost 1.32.0 Library Documentation
Sort by:
- Value Initialized: Wrapper for uniform-syntax value initialization, based on the original idea of David Abrahams.
- Timer: Event timer, progress timer, and progress display classes.
- Config: Helps Boost library developers adapt to compiler idiosyncrasies; not intended for library users.
- Integer: The organization of boost integer headers and classes is designed to take advantage of <stdint.h> types from the 1999 C standard without resorting to undefined behavior in terms of the 1998 C++ standard. The header <boost/cstdint.hpp> makes the standard integer types safely available in namespace boost without placing any names in namespace std.
- Operators: Templates ease arithmetic classes and iterators.
- Rational: A rational number class.
- Utility: Class noncopyable plus checked_delete(), checked_array_delete(), next(), prior() function templates, plus base-from-member idiom.
- Compressed Pair: Empty member optimization.
- Call Traits: Defines types for passing parameters.
- Type Traits: Templates for fundamental properties of types.
- Random: A complete system for random number generation.
- Functional: The Boost.Function library contains a family of class templates that are function object wrappers.
- Array: STL compliant container wrapper for arrays of constant size.
- Graph: The BGL graph interface and graph components are generic, in the same sense as the the Standard Template Library (STL).
- Regex: Regular expression library.
- Python: The Boost Python Library is a framework for interfacing Python and C++. It allows you to quickly and seamlessly expose C++ classes functions and objects to Python, and vice-versa, using no special tools -- just your C++ compiler.
- Property Map: Concepts defining interfaces which map key objects to value objects.
- Concept Check: Tools for generic programming.
- Static Assert: Static assertions (compile time assertions).
- Lexical Cast: General literal text conversions, such as an int represented a string, or vice-versa.
- Conversion: Polymorphic and lexical casts.
- Pool: Memory pool management.
- Iterator: The Boost Iterator Library contains two parts. The first is a system of concepts which extend the C++ standard iterator requirements. The second is a framework of components for building iterators based on these extended concepts and includes several useful iterator adaptors.
- Test: Support for simple program testing, full unit testing, and for program execution monitoring.
- Compatibility: Help for non-conforming standard libraries.
- CRC: The Boost CRC Library provides two implementations of CRC (cyclic redundancy code) computation objects and two implementations of CRC computation functions. The implementations are template-based.
- Math Quaternion: Quaternions.
- Tokenizer: Break of a string or other character sequence into a series of tokens.
- Smart Ptr: Smart pointer class templates.
- Math Octonion: Octonions.
- Any: Safe, generic container for single values of different value types.
- Math: Boost.Math includes several contributions in the domain of mathematics: The Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple library provides run-time and compile-time evaluation of the greatest common divisor (GCD) or least common multiple (LCM) of two integers. The Special Functions library currently provides eight templated special functions, in namespace boost. The Complex Number Inverse Trigonometric Functions are the inverses of trigonometric functions currently present in the C++ standard. Quaternions are a relative of complex numbers often used to parameterise rotations in three dimentional space. Octonions, like quaternions, are a relative of complex numbers.
- Function: Function object wrappers for deferred calls or callbacks.
- Tuple: Ease definition of functions returning multiple values, and more.
- Ref: A utility library for passing references to generic functions.
- Member Function: Generalized binders for function/object/pointers and member functions.
- Thread: Portable C++ multi-threading.
- Bind: boost::bind is a generalization of the standard functions std::bind1st and std::bind2nd. It supports arbitrary function objects, functions, function pointers, and member function pointers, and is able to bind any argument to a specific value or route input arguments into arbitrary positions.
- Preprocessor: Preprocessor metaprogramming tools including repetition and recursion.
- Math Common Factor: Greatest common divisor and least common multiple.
- IO State Savers: The I/O sub-library of Boost helps segregate the large number of Boost headers. This sub-library should contain various items to use with/for the standard I/O library.
- Lambda: Define small unnamed function objects at the actual call site, and more.
- Signals: Managed signals & slots callback implementation.
- Date Time: A set of date-time libraries based on generic programming concepts.
- Multi-Array: Boost.MultiArray provides a generic N-dimensional array concept definition and common implementations of that interface.
- Dynamic Bitset: The dynamic_bitset class represents a set of bits. It provides accesses to the value of individual bits via an operator[] and provides all of the bitwise operators that one can apply to builtin integers, such as operator& and operator<<. The number of bits in the set is specified at runtime via a parameter to the constructor of the dynamic_bitset.
- Format: The format library provides a class for formatting arguments according to a format-string, as does printf, but with two major differences: format sends the arguments to an internal stream, and so is entirely type-safe and naturally supports all user-defined types; the ellipsis (...) can not be used correctly in the strongly typed context of format, and thus the function call with arbitrary arguments is replaced by successive calls to an argument feeding operator%.
- uBLAS: uBLAS provides matrix and vector classes as well as basic linear algebra routines. Several dense, packed and sparse storage schemes are supported.
- Optional: Discriminated-union wrapper for optional values.
- Filesystem: The Boost Filesystem Library provides portable facilities to query and manipulate paths, files, and directories.
- MPL: The Boost.MPL library is a general-purpose, high-level C++ template metaprogramming framework of compile-time algorithms, sequences and metafunctions. It provides a conceptual foundation and an extensive set of powerful and coherent tools that make doing explict metaprogramming in C++ as easy and enjoyable as possible within the current language.
- Spirit: LL parser framework represents parsers directly as EBNF grammars in inlined C++.
- Interval: Extends the usual arithmetic functions to mathematical intervals.
- Variant: Safe, generic, stack-based discriminated union container.
- Enable If: Selective inclusion of function template overloads.
- Result Of: Determines the type of a function call expression.
- In Place Factory, Typed In Place Factory: Generic in-place construction of contained objects with a variadic argument-list.
- Multi-Index: The Boost Multi-index Containers Library provides a class template named multi_index_container which enables the construction of containers maintaining one or more indices with different sorting and access semantics.
- Tribool: 3-state boolean type library.
- Assign: Filling containers with constant or generated data has never been easier.
- String Algo: String algorithms library.
- Min-Max: Standard library extensions for simultaneous min/max and min/max element computations.
- Numeric Conversion: Optimized Policy-based Numeric Conversions.
- Range: A new infrastructure for generic algorithms that builds on top of the new iterator concepts.
- Program Options: The program_options library allows program developers to obtain program options, that is (name, value) pairs from the user, via conventional methods such as command line and config file.
- Serialization: Serialization for persistence and marshalling.
