BoostC++ Libraries...one of the most highly regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the world.
—Herb Sutter andAndrei Alexandrescu,C++ Coding Standards
This is an older version of Boost and was released in 2016. Thecurrent version is 1.89.0.
For a current status, have a look at theregression tests.
MSM was successfully tested with:
VC8 (partly), VC9, VC10
g++ 4.0.1 and higher
Intel 10.1 and higher
Clang 2.9
Green Hills Software MULTI for ARM v5.0.5 patch 4416 (Simple and Composite tutorials)
Partial support for IBM compiler
VC8 and to some lesser extent VC9 suffer from a bug. Enabling the option "Enable Minimal Rebuild" (/Gm) will cause much higher compile-time (up to three times with VC8!). This option being activated per default in Debug mode, this can be a big problem.
