Boost Tools
Boost Tools
===========
Boost developers, testers, and maintainers have developed
various programs to help with the administration of the Boost
Libraries. Like everything else about Boost, these tools are
available in source form, and are part of the regular Boost
distribution.
Users may find these tools useful when porting Boost
libraries to a new platform, or for use with their own
applications.
[Boost.Build](/build/)
The Boost build system, including the full Boost version
of the jam sources.
[Regression](tools/regression/index.html)
The Boost regression testing system reporting
sources.
[Inspect](tools/inspect/index.html)
The inspection tool used to detect errors in the Boost
directory hierarchy.
[BoostBook](../doc/html/boostbook.html)
A Boost documentation system, based on [DocBook](http://www.docbook.org/) and the [Extensible Stylesheet Language
(XSL)](http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/), used by some Boost libraries.
[bcp](tools/bcp/)
A utility to extract subsets of Boost; to determine which
parts of Boost your code is using; and to print reports on
Boost usage (including Licence information).
[QuickBook](tools/quickbook/index.html)
QuickBook is a WikiWiki style documentation tool geared
towards C++ documentation using simple rules and markup for
simple formatting tasks. QuickBook generates [BoostBook](../doc/html/boostbook.html) XML.
[Wave](../libs/wave/doc/wave_driver.html)
A Standards conformant C/C++ preprocessor usable on top
of any other compiler. Usable for instance for the debugging
of the expansion of macros in your code or as a replacement
for your built-in preprocessor.
