Much code in KlayGE depend on Boost. Here's the list of used libraries.

The used Boost libraries that must be built separately:

  • Filesystem (Can be replaced by C++17's on VC12+.)
  • Program Options (Only used in toolset.)
  • System (Not used directly. No dependency on VC12+.)
  • Test (Only used in test)

Header-only Boost libraries:

  • Algorithm/string
  • Any (C++17)
  • Assert
  • Circular Buffer
  • Container/flat_map
  • Lexical Cast
  • Lock free
  • Operators
  • Optional (C++17)
  • Signals2
  • Utility/noncopyable

Items marked as bold font can be replaced by features in C++11 or C++17. Along with the popularize of C++11/17-supported compiler, those libraries are switched to C++11's or C++17's. Boost libraries are used only when necessary.
