<span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Container</strong></span> library implements several
well-known containers, including STL containers. The aim of the library is
to offers advanced features not present in standard containers or to offer
the latest standard draft features for compilers that comply with C++03.
</p>
<p>
In short, what does <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Container</strong></span> offer?
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem">
Move semantics are implemented, including move emulation for pre-C++11
compilers.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
New advanced features (e.g. placement insertion, recursive containers)
are present.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Containers support stateful allocators and are compatible with <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Interprocess</strong></span> (they can be safely placed in
shared memory).
</li>
<li class="listitem">
The library offers new useful containers:
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="circle">
<li class="listitem">
<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="boost/container/flat_map.html" title="Class template flat_map">flat_map</a></code>,
<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="boost/container/flat_set.html" title="Class template flat_set">flat_set</a></code>,
<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="boost/container/flat_multiset.html" title="Class template flat_multiset">flat_multiset</a></code>
and <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="boost/container/flat_multiset.html" title="Class template flat_multiset">flat_multiset</a></code>:
drop-in replacements for standard associative containers but more
memory friendly and with faster searches.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="boost/container/stable_vector.html" title="Class template stable_vector">stable_vector</a></code>:
a std::list and std::vector hybrid container: vector-like random-access
iterators and list-like iterator stability in insertions and erasures.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="boost/container/slist.html" title="Class template slist">slist</a></code>: the classic
pre-standard singly linked list implementation offering constant-time
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">size</span><span class="special">()</span></code>.
Note that C++11 <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">forward_list</span></code>
has no <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">size</span><span class="special">()</span></code>.
</li>
</ul></div>
</li>
</ul></div>

<p>
There is no need to compile <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Container</strong></span>,
since it's a header only library. Just include your Boost header directory
in your compiler include path.

<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Container</strong></span> requires a decent C++98
compatibility. Some compilers known to work are:
