These policies explain what is expected of boost libraries and the process for library submissions.
Library Requirements and Guidelines. Basic standards for those preparing a submission.
Library Submission Process. How to submit a library to Boost.
Library Formal Review Process. Including how to submit a review comment.
Header Policy. Headers are where a library contacts its users, so programming practices are particularly important.
Implementation Variations. Sometimes one size fits all, sometimes it doesn't. This page deals with the trade-offs.
Library Reuse. Should Boost libraries use other boost libraries? What about the C++ Standard Library? It's another trade-off.
Compiler Status Describes what library works with which compiler.
Header Dependencies Describes what other headers each boost header includes.
Counted Body Techniques by Kevlin Henney is must reading for those interested in reference counting, a widely used object management idiom. Originally published in Overload magazine.
Feature Model Diagrams in text and HTML describes how to represent feature model diagrams in text form.
Portability Hints: Borland C++ 5.5.1 describes Borland C++ portability issues, with suggested workarounds.
The C++ Standard (ISO/IEC 14882) is available online as a PDF file from the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) Electronic Standards Store. The price is $US 18.00. The document is certainly not a tutorial, but is interesting to those who care about the precise specification of the language and the standard library.
