Introducing the Improving library: the next breakthrough in C + + programming Increase take you far beyond the C + + Standard Library, making C + + programming more elegant, powerful, and productive. Write to-the-art C + + developer medium, Bj? Karlsson briefly outlines all 58 Boost libraries, and then presents comprehensive coverage of 12 libraries you will find very useful. He even takes you "behind the scenes" with Boost, revealing tools and techniques for creating your own generic libraries. Coverage includes Smart pointers that provide automatic lifetime management of objects and simplify resource sharing Consistent, best practice solutions for performing type conversions and lexical conversions Utility class libraries that make the program simple and clear flexible container that solves a common problem that is not covered by the C + + Standard Library support Powerful for regular expressions with an object must be on site Boost.Regex Function calls with callbacks Boost.Bind and Boost.Lambda more flexible with Boost.Function Managed signals and slots (aka
