(C++) Boost

 

Boost is a collection of cross-platform libraries, that might be called 'the playground of the next STL'.

 

 

All functions and classes are in the 'boost' namespace (although some will migrate to the std namespace).

 

#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
 
struct Test() {};
 
int main()
{
  boost::shared_ptr<Test> test(new Test);
}

 

Familiarize yourself with Boost [1].
