Boost.Compatibilty library

+ +

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.

+ +

Missing C++ standard library CXX headers (e.g <cstdio>) + workaround

+ +

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

+ 
+cxx -I/usr/local/boost/boost/compatibility/cpp_c_headers ...
+
+ +

Supported platforms are:

+ +
    +
  • Compaq Alpha, RedHat 6.2 Linux, Compaq C++ V6.3 (cxx)
    • + +
  • Compaq Alpha, Tru64 Unix V5.0, Compaq C++ V6.2 (cxx)
    • + +
  • Silicon Graphics, IRIX 6.5, MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.3.1.1m + (CC)
    • +
+ +

There are more powerful alternatives to using the Boost.Compatibility + library CXX headers, e.g. STLport + or + ISOCXX. However, in contrast to these alternatives, the + generate_cpp_c_headers.py 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.

Missing C++ standard library <limits> header workaround + boost/limits.hpp

+ +

Several Boost libraries require the standard library's <limits> + header, yet this header is not always supplied by non-conforming + compilers and libraries.  Header boost/limits.hpp simply includes the + standard library <limits> header if available, otherwise includes + boost/detail/limits.hpp.  + BOOST_NO_LIMITS from boost/config.hpp + is used to determine <limits> availability.

+ +

Note also the test program limits_test.cpp
