| Boost ウェブサイトは多くの人に検証された、移植性のある フリーの C++ ソースライブラリを提供している。 強調すべきは、このライブラリが C++ 標準ライブラリと相性良く動くことである。 ひとつの目的は、"既存の慣習" を確立し、 Boost ライブラリが最終的な標準化にふさわしくなるように、 基準となる実装を提供することである。 C++ 標準化委員会 の次回の C++ 標準ライブラリ技術報告に含まれることを既に提案されているライブラリもある。 Boost は C++ 標準化委員会のワーキンググループのメンバーによって開始されたが、 メンバーは C++ コミュニティの二千人近くを含むほどの規模に拡大した。 ## Membership あなたが Boost のメンバになることに興味を持っているなら、 開発者メーリングリストに参加して頂きたい。 議論は、技術的なものも、サイトに関連した問題も含んでいる。 そしてメンバは提案されたライブラリの公式レビューに参加することを奨められる。 ユーザ用のメーリングリストもある。 開発者メーリングリストとユーザメーリングリストは共に、 ニュースグループ でも参加できる。 ## Search Boost

## Latest News March 19, 2003 - Version 1.30.0 Filesystem Library added - Portable paths, iteration over directories, and other useful filesystem operations, from Beman Dawes. Optional Library added - A discriminated-union wrapper for optional values, from Fernando Cacciola. Interval Library added - Extends the usual arithmetic functions to mathematical intervals, from Guillaume Melquiond, Herv&eacte; Brönnimann and Sylvain Pion. MPL added - Template metaprogramming framework of compile-time algorithms, sequences and metafunction classes, from Aleksey Gurtovoy. Spirit Library added - An LL (unlimited lookahead) parser framework that represents parsers directly as EBNF grammars in inlined C++ source code, complete with semantic actions, ASTs and much more, from Joel de Guzman and team. Smart Pointers Library - cast functions are now spelled static_pointer_cast / dynamic_pointer_cast ; enable_shared_from_this added; shared_ptr::shared_ptr(), shared_ptr::reset(), weak_ptr::weak_ptr(), weak_ptr::reset() no longer throw; get_deleter added; weak_ptr::get() removed; make_shared is now spelled weak_ptr::lock() ; intrusive_ptr documentation added; some experimental undocumented shared_ptr features have been removed; a page describing some smart pointer programming techniques has been added. boost/assert.hpp, boost/current_function.hpp, boost/throw_exception.hpp, boost/checked_delete.hpp have been documented. Date-Time Library - several fixes and small additions including an interface change to partial_date. See Date-Time Change History for more details. Function Library - added support for assignment to zero (to clear) and comparison against zero (to check if empty). Operators Library - now takes advantage of named return value optimization (NRVO) when available, from Daniel Frey. Regression Tests - Much expanded, plus a very nice summary page from Rene Rivera. Test Library - introduced following new facilities: Automatic registration of unit tests XML log format XML report format BOOST_CHECK_NO_THROW test tool BOOST_BITWISE_CHECK test tool For complete list of changes see Test Library release notes Documentation for some Boost libraries has been converted to a new format allowing PDF and Unix man pages to be generated along with HTML. Many fixes and enhancements to other libraries. October 10, 2002 - Version 1.29.0 Date-Time Library added - Dates, times, leap seconds, infinity, and more, from Jeff Garland. Dynamic Bitset added - A runtime sized version of the `std::bitset` class from Jeremy Siek and Chuck Allison. Format Library added - Type-safe 'printf-like' format operations, from Samuel Krempp. Function Library: Major syntactic changes have been made. Some old syntax and little-used features have been deprecated (and will be removed shortly), and the syntax for the `boost::function` class template has been greatly improved on conforming compilers. Please see the compatibility note for more information. Multi-array Library added - Multidimensional containers and adaptors for arrays of contiguous data, from Ron Garcia. Preprocessor Library: Major upgrade, from Paul Mensonides. Python Library - Version 2 is released, from Dave Abrahams and others. This is a major rewrite which works on many more compilers and platforms, with a completely new interface and lots of new features. Boost.Python v2 requires Python 2.2 or later. Signals Library added - Managed signals & slots callback implementation, from Doug Gregor. Test Library: Major new version, including full unit test capabilities, from Gennadiy Rozental. uBLAS Library added - Basic linear algebra for dense, packed and sparse matrices, from Joerg Walter and Mathias Koch. May 15, 2002 - Version 1.28.0 The Boost mailing lists are now also accessible as newsgroups. A powerful mailing list archive has been contributed by the ActiveState Programmer Network. Lambda Library added, from Jaakko Järvi and Gary Powell. Define small unnamed function objects at the actual call site: `for_each(a.begin(), a.end(), std::cout << _1 << ' ');` I/O State Saver Library added - Save I/O state to prevent jumbled data, from Daryle Walker. Configuration Library: User code should not use BOOST_NO_LIMITS. Random Number Library: Avoid compiler warnings Smart Pointers Library: Added shared_polymorphic_cast and shared_polymorphic_downcast. Function Library: Now supports function objects with the unary `&` operator overloaded. Utility Library: Added `addressof()` function. The usual small fixes and tweaks. February 5, 2002 - Version 1.27.0 Python Library: Scott Snyder contributed inplace operator support. Integer Library: Daryle Walker contributed enhancements to the type selection templates, and added new compile-time bit mask, binary logarithm, and extrema templates. Function Library: user may request that `boost::function` objects store a reference to a function object target instead of a copy, using `ref`. Stateless objects are optimized so that they require no dynamic storage. Quaternions: added support for GCC 2.95.x. Octonions: added support for GCC 2.95.x. Smart Pointers Library: Peter Dimov contributed a new implementation that fixes some bugs and adds some features including thread safety when manipulating the use count, custom delete functions, a new weak_ptr, and shared_static_cast and shared_dynamic_cast. Preprocessor Library: changed macro prefix from BOOST_PREPROCESSOR to BOOST_PP, added support for list data structure manipulation, added examples, made library ANSI C friendly, added generalized repetition and iteration primitives, improved reference manual. Threads Library: Mac Carbon implementation contributed by Mac Murrett. Minor fixes to many libraries.
