# The devel/boost port

## boost-1.58.0p2 – free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries

## Description

    Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.

    Boost emphasizes libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library.
    Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a
    broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both
    commercial and non-commercial use.

    Boost aims to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
    implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
    standardization. Ten Boost libraries are included in the C++ Standards
    Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) and in the new C++11
    Standard. C++11 also includes several more Boost libraries in addition
    to those from TR1. More Boost libraries are proposed for standardization
    in C++17.
