The answer is maybe :) - It really depends on how compliant your compiler is and what features of boost you want to use. I just started the process of migrating a lot of our embedded code to using boost (1.34) a few months ago with a fair amount of success. We don't use exceptions or RTTI - I needed to make some minor changes to a couple of boost headers in order to get them to compile under this configuration. We don't currently use a huge amount of boost functionality and I know that some features of boost do require RTTI. Our embedded C++ compiler appears to be pretty compliant in its language and template support which helps a lot. Some embedded compilers may be lacking in this respect Andrew -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Thanh Tran Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 7:02 AM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] Q and Embedded Systems I'm new to boost and would like to know if boost can be used in embedded systems. Obviously, it'll work if the system is using derivative of Linux. What if I don't have a real OS running on the system. Can I still simply fold the source code into my project and build it? I'm sure it can be done. I'm not sure how difficult it will be. Thanks. ________________________________________________________________________ ____________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
