Tools
|
Boost developers, testers, and maintainers have developed various tools to
help with the administration of the Boost Libraries. Like everything else about
Boost, these tools are available in source form, and are part of the regular
Boost distribution.
Users may find these tools useful when porting Boost libraries to a new
platform, or for use with their own applications.
-
Boost.Build - The Boost build system, including
the full Boost version of the jam sources.
-
Regression - The Boost regression testing
system reporting sources.
-
Release - Scripts used to build the
release tarballs and zips.
-
Inspect - The inspection tool used to detect
errors in the Boost directory hierarchy.
-
BoostBook - A Boost documentation
system, based on DocBook and the
Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), used by some Boost libraries.
-
bcp - A utility to extract subsets of Boost; to
determine which parts of Boost your code is using; and to print reports on
Boost usage (including Licence information).
-
QuickBook - QuickBook is a WikiWiki style
documentation tool geared towards C++ documentation using simple rules and markup
for simple formatting tasks. QuickBook generates
BoostBook XML.
-
Wave - A Standards conformant C/C++
preprocessor usable on top of any other compiler. Usable for instance for the debugging
of the expansion of macros in your code or as a replacement for your built-in
preprocessor.
-
AutoIndex - A tool for indexing Boostbook/Docbook
documents.
