MrDocs Bootstrap: One Script to Build Them All

https://cppalliance.org/alan/2026/04/15/Alan.html

Complex C++ dependency management is explained with version conflicts, ABI issues, and platform toolchain differences. Limitations of package managers are described, and a bootstrap script is presented that automates builds, configuration, and IDE setup across platforms, supporting sanitizers.

  • Hub is here
    Link #Bloom
    During Q2 2026 Boost work is summarized: boost::container::hub accepted for Boost 1.92; Boost.Unordered added C++20 range support; Boost.MultiIndex got iterator pointers; Boost.ICL fixed for libc++ v22; Boost.Bloom, Boost.Graph and activities noted.
  • Speed and Safety
    Link #Decimal
    CUDA support is added to Boost int128 for host and device use. Device from_chars/to_chars are provided by Boost.Charconv, and Boost.Decimal will gain CUDA later. Verification is used by Boost.Safe_Numbers for safety and error check with CUDA reporting.
  • Hubs, intervals and math
    Link #Unordered
    Development of boost::container::hub as a lightweight alternative to std::hive, a conference talk on C++ mathematics, maintenance merges for Boost.Unordered and Boost.Bimap, a fix proposal for Boost.ICL, and community support activities.
