Boost
C++ Libraries
...one of the most highly
regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
world.
— Herb Sutter and Andrei
Alexandrescu, C++
Coding Standards
This is an older version of Boost and was released in 2018. The current version is 1.89.0.
Where the standard library provides std::array<>, Boost.Asio:
boost::array<> for the
ip::address_v4::bytes_type
and ip::address_v6::bytes_type
types.
boost::array<> where a
fixed size array type is needed in the implementation.
Support for std::array<> is automatically enabled for
g++ 4.3 and later, when the -std=c++0x
or -std=gnu++0x compiler options are used, as well as
for Microsoft Visual C++ 10. It may be disabled by defining BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_STD_ARRAY,
or explicitly enabled for other compilers by defining BOOST_ASIO_HAS_STD_ARRAY.
