Bimap
Bidirectional maps library for C++. With Boost.Bimap you can create associative containers in which both types can be used as key.
-
CallableTraits
A spiritual successor to Boost.FunctionTypes, Boost.CallableTraits is a header-only C++11 library for the compile-time inspection and manipulation of all 'callable' types. Additional support for C++17 features.
-
OpenMethod
Open-methods are virtual functions that exist outside of classes, as free-standing functions. They make it possible to add polymorphic behavior to existing classes, without modifying them. This implementation supports single and multiple dispatch.

What engineers are saying
-
Every developer deserves world-class tools and education. Every critical system deserves secure code. Every brilliant idea deserves the resources to become reality. This is what we're building.

Trying is the first step towards failure

Code is like humor, When you have to explain it, it's bad

When you're building software that needs to operate flawlessly with the limited flight pass opportunities of the International Space Station, you need libraries you can trust and that allow you to move quickly. Boost gave us exactly that: production-grade networking and serialization with a license that met NASA's requirements. It let us focus on the engineering instead of reinventing the wheel. — Prof. Sven G. Bilén, The Pennsylvania State University

What I really liked about Boost was that the libraries are peer-reviewed, raising expectations about quality and security. And I don't think I encountered a single bug in any of the Boost libraries I used. My thanks to the developers! - Oleg Trott, PHD Creator, AutoDock Vina
Build anything with the Boost Software License
A simple, one-paragraph license created specifically for C++. It gives permission to use, modify, and distribute for any purpose.
No license file is required in binaries, just attribution in the source code. And it's compatible with virtually all other licenses.
Companies like Microsoft, Adobe and Citigroup have used it for the past 20 years.
