Boost C++ Libraries

...one of the most highly regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the world. Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu, C++ Coding Standards

This is the documentation for an old version of Boost. Click here to view this page for the latest version.

boost/array.hpp

/* The following code declares class array,
 * an STL container (as wrapper) for arrays of constant size.
 *
 * See
 *      http://www.boost.org/libs/array/
 * for documentation.

 * accompanying file LICENSE_1_0.txt or copy at
 * http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt)
 *
 *  9 Jan 2013 - (mtc) Added constexpr
 * 14 Apr 2012 - (mtc) Added support for boost::hash
 * 28 Dec 2010 - (mtc) Added cbegin and cend (and crbegin and crend) for C++Ox compatibility.
 * 10 Mar 2010 - (mtc) fill method added, matching resolution of the standard library working group.
 *      See <http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#776> or Trac issue #3168
 *      Eventually, we should remove "assign" which is now a synonym for "fill" (Marshall Clow)
 * 10 Mar 2010 - added workaround for SUNCC and !STLPort [trac #3893] (Marshall Clow)
 * 29 Jan 2004 - c_array() added, BOOST_NO_PRIVATE_IN_AGGREGATE removed (Nico Josuttis)
 * 23 Aug 2002 - fix for Non-MSVC compilers combined with MSVC libraries.
 * 05 Aug 2001 - minor update (Nico Josuttis)
 * 20 Jan 2001 - STLport fix (Beman Dawes)
 * 29 Sep 2000 - Initial Revision (Nico Josuttis)
 *
 * Jan 29, 2004
