It supports arbitrary function objects, functions, function pointers, and member function pointers, and is able to bind any argument to a specific value or route input arguments into arbitrary positions. Function objects and higher-order programming
 +
;Call Traits : Defines types for passing parameters. Generic Programming
 +
;Chrono : Useful time utilities. Domain Specific
 +
;Circular Buffer : A STL compliant container also known as ring or cyclic buffer. Containers

;Compatibility : Help for non-conforming standard libraries. Broken compiler workarounds
 +
;Compressed Pair : Empty member optimization. Data structures
 +
;Concept Check : Tools for generic programming. Generic Programming
 +
;Config : Helps Boost library developers adapt to compiler idiosyncrasies; not intended for library users. Broken compiler workarounds
 +
;Container : Standard library containers and extensions. Containers
 +
;Context : Context switching library. Concurrent Programming
 +
;Conversion : Polymorphic and lexical casts. String and text processing
 +
;CRC : The Boost CRC Library provides two implementations of CRC (cyclic redundancy code) computation objects and two implementations of CRC computation functions. The implementations are template-based. Domain Specific
 +
;Date Time : A set of date-time libraries based on generic programming concepts. Domain Specific
 +
;Dynamic Bitset : The dynamic_bitset class represents a set of bits. It provides accesses to the value of individual bits via an operator[] and provides all of the bitwise operators that one can apply to builtin integers, such as operator& and operator<<. The number of bits in the set is specified at runtime via a parameter to the constructor of the dynamic_bitset. Containers
 +
;Enable If : Selective inclusion of function template overloads. Generic Programming
 +
;Exception : The Boost Exception library supports transporting of arbitrary data in exception objects, and transporting of exceptions between threads. Language Features Emulation
 +
;Filesystem : The Boost Filesystem Library provides portable facilities to query and manipulate paths, files, and directories. System
 +
;Flyweight : Design pattern to manage large quantities of highly redundant objects. Patterns and Idioms
 +
;Foreach : In C++, writing a loop that iterates over a sequence is tedious. We can either use iterators, which requires a considerable amount of boiler-plate, or we can use the std::for_each() algorithm and move our loop body into a predicate, which requires no less boiler-plate and forces us to move our logic far from where it will be used. In contrast, some other languages, like Perl, provide a dedicated "foreach" construct that automates this process. BOOST_FOREACH is just such a construct for C++. It iterates over sequences for us, freeing us from having to deal directly with iterators or write predicates. Algorithms
 +
;Format : The format library provides a class for formatting arguments according to a format-string, as does printf, but with two major differences: format sends the arguments to an internal stream, and so is entirely type-safe and naturally supports all user-defined types; the ellipsis (...) can not be used correctly in the strongly typed context of format, and thus the function call with arbitrary arguments is replaced by successive calls to an argument feeding operator%. String and text processing
 +
;Function : Function object wrappers for deferred calls or callbacks. Function objects and higher-order programming
 +
;Function Types : Boost.FunctionTypes provides functionality to classify, decompose and synthesize function, function pointer, function reference and pointer to member types. Generic Programming

 +
;In Place Factory, Typed In Place Factory : Generic in-place construction of contained objects with a variadic argument-list. Generic Programming
 +

The header <boost/cstdint.hpp> makes the standard integer types safely available in namespace boost without placing any names in namespace std. Math and numerics
 +
;Interprocess : Shared memory, memory mapped files, process-shared mutexes, condition variables, containers and allocators. Concurrent Programming

;Interval : Extends the usual arithmetic functions to mathematical intervals. Math and numerics
 +
;Intrusive : Intrusive containers and algorithms. Containers
 +

;Iostreams : Boost.IOStreams provides a framework for defining streams, stream buffers and i/o filters. String and text processing
 +
;Iterators : The Boost Iterator Library contains two parts. The first is a system of concepts which extend the C++ standard iterator requirements. The second is a framework of components for building iterators based on these extended concepts and includes several useful iterator adaptors. Iterators
 +
;Lambda : Define small unnamed function objects at the actual call site, and more. Function objects and higher-order programming
 +
;Lexical Cast : General literal text conversions, such as an int represented a string, or vice-versa, from Kevlin Henney. String and text processing

;Locale : Provide localization and Unicode handling tools for C++. String and text processing
 +
;Math : Boost.Math includes several contributions in the domain of mathematics: The Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple library provides run-time and compile-time evaluation of the greatest common divisor (GCD) or least common multiple (LCM) of two integers.

The Complex Number Inverse Trigonometric Functions are the inverses of trigonometric functions currently present in the C++ standard.
