...one of the most highly
regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
world.
— Herb Sutter and Andrei
Alexandrescu, C++
Coding Standards
Where the standard library provides std::array<>
, Boost.Asio:
boost::array<>
for the ip::address_v4::bytes_type
and ip::address_v6::bytes_type
types.
boost::array<>
where a fixed size array type
is needed in the implementation.
Support for std::array<>
is automatically enabled for g++
4.3 and later, when
the -std=c++0x
or -std=gnu++0x
compiler
options are used, as well as for Microsoft Visual C++ 10. It may be disabled
by defining BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_STD_ARRAY
,
or explicitly enabled for other compilers by defining BOOST_ASIO_HAS_STD_ARRAY
.
