\section{Using Boost\label{sec:boost_support}}
\cgal\ code can rely on Boost libraries to some extent.
Boost was installed with \cgal\ Release 3.1, and is no longer
installed, as it is already distributed with Linux and cygwin.
Boost was shipped with \cgal\ Release 3.1, and is no longer
shipped within \cgal, as it is mainstream, and already distributed
with Linux and Cygwin.
Since portability and backward compatibility are a concern in \cgal,
we have decided that the list of Boost libraries usable in \cgal\ will be

probably must be deprecated and phased out), trying not to break backward
compatibility too much.
Here follows a list of Boost libraries allowed for use in \cgal\ (those
with question marks are not decided yet) :
\begin{itemize}
\item Operators --- Templates ease arithmetic classes and iterators
\item ? Any --- Safe, generic container for single values of different value
types (what's the relation with \texttt{variant})
\item Concept check --- Tools for generic programming
\item ? Bind \texttt{[TR1]} and mem\_fn --- Generalized binders for
function/object/pointers and member functions (overlaps with STL
Extensions)
\item ? Graph --- Generic graph components and algorithms
\item ? Interval --- Extends the usual arithmetic functions to mathematical intervals (overlaps with CGAL::Interval\_nt)
\item Iterators --- Iterator construction framework, adaptors, concepts, and more
\item MPL --- Template metaprogramming framework of compile-time algorithms, sequences and metafunction classes
\item Optional --- Discriminated-union wrapper for optional values
\item Property map --- Concepts defining interfaces which map key objects to value objects
\item ? Random \texttt{[TR1]} --- A complete system for random number generation
(overlaps with support library)
\item ? Rational --- A rational number class (overlaps with CGAL::Quotient)
\item ? Ref \texttt{[TR1]} --- A utility library for passing references to generic functions
%\item ? Result\_of \texttt{[TR1]}
\item ? Smart Pointers \texttt{[TR1]} --- Five smart pointer class templates
\item ? Static assertions --- Static assertions (compile time assertions)
\item Tuple \texttt{[TR1]} --- Ease definition of functions returning multiple values, and more
\item ? Type traits \texttt{[TR1]} --- Templates for fundamental properties of types
\item ? Variant --- Safe, generic, stack-based discriminated union container
(how does it relate to \texttt{any} ?)
