Boost.Asio is a cross-platform C++ library for network programming that provides developers with a consistent asynchronous I/O model using a modern C++ approach.

boost::bind is a generalization of the standard functions std::bind1st and std::bind2nd. It supports arbitrary function objects, functions, function pointers, and member function pointers, and is able to bind any argument to a specific value or route input arguments into arbitrary positions.

The template class call_traits<T> encapsulates the "best" method to pass a parameter of some type T to or from a function. The purpose of call_traits is to ensure that problems like "references to references" never occur, and that parameters are passed in the most efficient manner possible.

The circular_buffer is an STL compliant container. It is a kind of sequence similar to std::list or std::deque. The circular_buffer is especially designed to provide fixed capacity storage. When its capacity is exhausted, newly inserted elements will cause elements either at the beginning or end of the buffer (depending on what insert operation is used) to be overwritten.

Boost.Config helps boost library developers adapt to compiler idiosyncrasies; not intended for library users.

The Boost CRC Library provides two implementations of CRC (cyclic redundancy code) computation objects and two implementations of CRC computation functions. The implementations are template-based.

Boost.DisjointSets provides disjoint sets operations with union by rank and path compression.

The dynamic_bitset class represents a set of bits. It provides accesses to the value of individual bits via an operator[] and provides all of the bitwise operators that one can apply to builtin integers, such as operator& and operator<<. The number of bits in the set is specified at runtime via a parameter to the constructor of the dynamic_bitset.

The format library provides a class for formatting arguments according to a format-string, as does printf, but with two major differences :

• format sends the arguments to an internal stream, and so is entirely type-safe and naturally supports all user-defined types.
• The ellipsis (...) can not be used correctly in the strongly typed context of format, and thus the function call with arbitrary arguments is replaced by successive calls to an argument feeding operator%

boost::hash is an implementation of the ​hash function object specified by the ​Draft Technical Report on C++ Library Extensions (TR1). It is intended for use as the default hash function for unordered associative containers, and the Boost Multi-Index Containers Library's hash indexes.

The organization of boost integer headers and classes is designed to take advantage of <stdint.h> types from the 1999 C standard without resorting to undefined behavior in terms of the 1998 C++ standard. The header <boost/cstdint.hp> makes the standard integer types safely available in namespace boost without placing any names in namespace std.

The I/O sub-library of Boost helps segregate the large number of Boost headers. This sub-library should contain various items to use with/for the standard I/O library.

The Boost Iterator Library contains two parts. The first is a system of concepts which extend the C++ standard iterator requirements. The second is a framework of components for building iterators based on these extended concepts and includes several useful iterator adaptors.

Boost.Math includes several contributions in the domain of mathematics:

• The Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple library provides run-time and compile-time evaluation of the greatest common divisor (GCD) or least common multiple (LCM) of two integers.
• The Special Functions library currently provides eight templated special functions, in namespace boost.
• The Complex Number Inverse Trigonometric Functions are the inverses of trigonometric functions currently present in the C++ standard.
• Quaternions are a relative of complex numbers often used to parameterise rotations in three dimentional space.
• Octonions, like quaternions, are a relative of complex numbers.

The Boost.MPL library is a general-purpose, high-level C++ template metaprogramming framework of compile-time algorithms, sequences and metafunctions. It provides a conceptual foundation and an extensive set of powerful and coherent tools that make doing explict metaprogramming in C++ as easy and enjoyable as possible within the current language.

Boost.MultiArray provides a generic N-dimensional array concept definition and common implementations of that interface.

Define small unnamed function objects at the actual call site, and more.

Expression template library and compiler construction toolkit for domain-specific embedded languages

The Boost Python Library is a framework for interfacing Python and C++. It allows you to quickly and seamlessly expose C++ classes functions and objects to Python, and vice-versa, using no special tools -- just your C++ compiler.
