This library provides workarounds which allow the other Boost libraries
to be used on otherwise non-conforming platforms. We hope that it will
be possible to remove this library at some time in the future as
standard library suppliers become more conforming.

<p>
The Python script:
<tt><a href="generate_cpp_c_headers.py">generate_cpp_c_headers.py</a> </tt>creates a full set of C++ C header files
(e.g. &lt;cstdio&gt;) that are missing on some platforms.
The header files created by this script reside in the directory <tt><a href="../../boost/compatibility/cpp_c_headers/">boost/compatibility/cpp_c_headers</a></tt>.
To use the header files, add this directory to the include
file search path. For example:
<pre>

There are more powerful alternatives to using
the Boost.Compatibility library CXX headers, e.g.
<a href="http://www.stlport.org/">STLport</a> or
<a href="http://www.fnal.gov/docs/working-groups/fpcltf/Pkg/ISOcxx/doc/0ISOcxx.html">ISOCXX</a>.
However, in contrast to these alternatives, the
<tt>generate_cpp_c_headers.py</tt> script is very light-weight (less
than 100 non-comment lines of Python code), much less ambitious,
significantly easier to maintain and therefore more suitable as an interim workaround.
