Owned,bimap,matias,Matias Capeletto,[http://www.boost.org/libs/bimap Boost.Bimap] is a bidirectional maps library for C++. With Boost.Bimap you can create associative containers in which both types can be used as key.
Owned,bind,pdimov,Peter Dimov,"[http://www.boost.org/libs/bind 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."

Owned,call_traits,johnmaddock,John Maddock,"The template class [http://www.boost.org/libs/utility/call_traits.htm 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."
Owned,chrono,viboes,,
Owned,circular_buffer,jano_gaspar,Jan Gaspar,"The [http://www.boost.org/libs/circular_buffer/ 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."
Owned,concept_check,jsiek,,"The [http://www.boost.org/libs/concept_check/concept_check.htm Boost Concept Checking Library] provides:

    * A mechanism for inserting compile-time checks of template parameters.
    * A framework for specifying concept requirements though concept checking classes.
    * A mechanism for verifying that concept requirements cover the template.
    * A suite of concept checking classes and archetype classes that match the concept requirements in the C++ Standard Library.

Owned,dynamic_bitset,jsiek,,"The [http://www.boost.org/libs/dynamic_bitset/dynamic_bitset.html 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`."

Owned,flyweight,joaquin,Joaquín M López Muñoz,
Owned,foreach,eric_niebler,Eric Niebler,"In C++, writing a loop that iterates over a sequence is tedious. We can either use iterators, which requires a considerable amount of boiler-plate, or we can use the `std::for_each()` algorithm and move our loop body into a predicate, which requires no less boiler-plate and forces us to move our logic far from where it will be used. In contrast, some other languages, like Perl, provide a dedicated ""foreach"" construct that automates this process. [http://www.boost.org/libs/foreach/index.html BOOST_FOREACH] is just such a construct for C++. It iterates over sequences for us, freeing us from having to deal directly with iterators or write predicates."
Owned,format,samuel_krempp,Samuel Krempp,"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%'''
