My experience in this regard is surprising to me.
I'm amazed to discover that in only ONE single case have any of the programmers, managers, etc ever even heard of boost. This group even includes an ex head of the computer science department at a top tier university !!!
Sadly this is what I would expect. However, I have been surprised by the number of companies in London ( U.K. ) That have heard of boost. Mostly in the International banking sector. The most popular library by far has to be smart_ptrs.
Indeed. Just a few weeks ago I as talking to someone about a banking role where the job spec specifically said "Modern C++, STL, Boost". So it's not all bad, at least not in London anyway. jon -- "What contemptible scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch?" - W.C. Fields
