Do you use Boost library? (New 2007 Survey)
Hi,
I'm trying to determine how common it is to see boost in a development environment, and if most C++ developers are aware of the boost library.
Boost is a free portable library, that basically extends the standard C++ library.
See following link:
http://www.boost.org/
Please post your vote on the POLL displayed on the top of this page.
Thank you for your time,
Axter (David Maisonave)

I use boost for almost every C++ project, when standard library is not enough. I find it great extension for standard C++ library, however, it still IMO lacks some things (i. e. big numbers).
Cheers
B+!

I (and the team I'm working in) am using mainly the sprit library from boost, but other things too, such as shared_ptr.

No, why use boost shared pointers when I can use the wonderful Axter ones?
Actually where I work we do have boost. shared_ptr is probably the most used component but it wasn't being used in the project I inherited and when I started rewriting sections I didn't know boost was actually there on the file-system, plus it is only there for UNIX and not for Windows.

Was there a unique UNIX requirement, that they only needed it for?

Re: Do you use Boost library?
Two main reasons I do not use Boost (I think it is a great product).
1) Much of my development is in managed (C# typically) environments. The capabilities of the CLR address many things that were provided by Boost.
2) When I still do native C++, it is typically custom work for a client. If they already use Boost, then great, I will use it. But if they don't the issues with getting them to adopt and learn a third party library can cause complications. As a result my libraries are "Boost-free", not because of technical reasons, but because of business reasons.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.
