Description

{{{name}}} website  
"Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.

We emphasize 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.

We aim 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 TR2." Template:App Location

Available versions

  • 1.38.0
  • 1.46.1
  • 1.48.0
  • 1.49.0

Running the application using modules

To use boost with the environment modules system at HPC the following commands are available:

Get module information for boost:

$module spider boost

Load the default application module:

$module load boost

The modulefile for this software adds the directory with executable files to the shell execution PATH and sets the following environment variables:

  • HPC_BOOST_DIR - directory where boost is located.
