<h2><a name="Introduction" id="Introduction"></a>More about
|
|
regression tests</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Will all Boost libraries work with your compiler?
|
|
Unfortunately, the answer is "it depends". See the <a href=
|
|
"#RegressionTesting">regression testing results</a> to see
|
|
exactly what works and what doesn't.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Boost libraries rely on modern C++ features such as
|
|
templates and the C++ Standard Library. Most modern
|
|
compilers support those major features fairly well. But even
|
|
today, years after the adoption of the C++ Standard, some
|
|
compilers still don't support important minor features like
|
|
partial template specialization.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Boost library authors often expend a great deal of effort
|
|
trying to work around compiler deficiencies.
|
|
Nevertheless, some libraries will not compile at all with
|
|
certain compilers or may have crippled functionality.
|
|
Even if the current release of a compiler supports a boost
|
|
library, older versions of the compiler may not work
|
|
properly.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Boost releases are run through regression tests which
|
|
automatically generates compiler status tables for various
|
|
platforms. Unless otherwise indicated, the C++ Standard Library
|
|
implementation is the one shipped with the compiler.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Warnings:</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>These tables are not a good indication of a particular
|
|
compiler's compliance with the C++ Standard. The Boost
|
|
libraries often contain workarounds which mask compiler
|
|
deficiencies.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Some regression tests are run only occasionally, and so
|
|
are relatively out-of-date. Check the date and revision
|
|
in the column heading.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The development code is being updated several times a day,
|
|
so it may contain bug fixes, compiler workarounds, new
|
|
features, and even whole new libraries. It may be unstable,
|
|
however.</p>
