...one of the most highly
regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
world.

Alexandrescu, C++
Coding Standards
This is an older version of Boost and was released in 2024. The current version is 1.89.0.
Performance measurements were taken using std::chrono::highresolution_clock,
with overhead corrections. The code was compiled with gcc-6.3.1, using build
options: variant = release, optimization = speed. Tests were executed on dual
Intel XEON E5 2620v4 2.2GHz, 16C/32T, 64GB RAM, running Linux (x86_64).
