Chapter 3. Introducing the Boost C++ Libraries
Many programmers use libraries since this simplifies the programming process. Because they do not need to write the function from scratch anymore, using a library can save much code development time. In this chapter, we are going to get acquainted with Boost C++ libraries. Let us prepare our own compiler and text editor to prove the power of Boost libraries. As we do so, we will discuss the following topics:
- Introducing the C++ standard template library
- Introducing the Boost libraries
- Preparing the Boost C++ libraries in MinGW compiler
- Building the Boost libraries
- Compiling code that contains Boost C++ libraries
Introducing the C++ standard template library
The C++ Standard Template Library (STL) is a generic ...
