ANSI C++ 라이브러리와 잘 조화되어 동작하며, 이식이 가능한
다양한 라이브러리들의 모음입니다.
이 중에서는 차후에 ANSI C++ 라이브러리에 포함될 가능성이 있는 것이 많습니다.
특히 STL에 관련된 다양한 라이브러리가 많습니다.
shared_ptr등의 스마트 포인터와 풍부한 함수 객체들이 많습니다.
reg_ex(정규표현식)이나, tokenizer(토크나이저)등의 유용한 문자열 처리 라이브러리도 좋더군요.

설치 방법은 대략 다음과 같습니다.

boost_all.zip 파일을
$(BCB)\include\boost_1_28_0
과 같은 경로에 풀어주신후,
템플릿 라이브러리의 경우는 프로젝트 옵션에서 Include Path만 정확히 지정만 하면 됩니다.

인클루드 하실 때는 다음과 같이 "boost/"를 붙이시고,
#include <boost/tokenizer.hpp>

using namespace std; 문과 함께
using namespace boost;
하는 것을 잊지 마시기 바랍니다.

컴파일해야 하는 라이브러리는
bjam.zip을 위의 경로에 푸신 후에,
명령 프롬프트에서

bjam "-sTOOLS=borland"

라고 치시면 컴파일됩니다.
