Nuget for Boost 1.56.0.

Nuget for Boost 1.56 Beta 1

Nuget packages for Boost 1.55

https://getboost.codeplex.com/releases/view/114813. Source files and pre-compiled libraries for Visual Studio 2012 (vc110) and 2013 (vc120).

getboost

I've created a new open source project for Boost NuGet packages: getboost.codeplex.com.

Boost at nuget.org

It's unofficial but it works https://www.nuget.org/packages/boost/. For Visual Studio 2012, supported platforms: Win32 and x64.

It's huge 235Mb and takes about half an hour to install.

1. Open your C++ project. Or create a new one.
2. Open Tools | Library Package Manager | Manage NuGet Packages for Solution....
3. Search for "boost" in Online | NuGet Official Package Source (Include Prerelease).
4. Press the Install button.
5. Wait for about 10 minutes.
6. Select your C++ project and press Ok.
7. Wait for another 10 minutes.
8. Close the dialogs.
9. Include some boost header files. For example: #include <boost/atomic.hpp>
10. Build the project.

Update

The updated boost package doesn't contain compiled libraries (.lib/.dll) any more. Now it's only 15Mb. I've created separate packages for the boost compiled libraries:

• boost_atomic;
• boost_chrono;
• boost_context;
• boost_coroutine;
• boost_date_time;
• boost_exception;
• boost_filesystem;
• boost_graph;
• boost_iostream;
• boost_locale;
• Boost.Log: boost_log, boost_log_setup;
• Boost.Math: boost_math_c99, boost_math_c99f, boost_math_c99l, boost_math_tr1, boost_math_tr1f, boost_math_tr1l;
• boost_program_options;
• boost_random;
• boost_regex;
• Boost.Serialization: boost_serialization, boost_wserialization;
• boost_signals;
• boost_system;
• Boost.Test: boost_prg_exec_monitor, boost_unit_test_framework, test_exec_monitor;
• boost_thread;
• boost_timer;
• boost_wave.

INumeric policy.

Policies:

interface INumericPolicy<T>
{
    T Zero();
    T Add(T a, T b);
    ...
}

class All: INumericPolicy<int>, INumericPolicy<long>, ...
{
    ...
    public static All P = new All();
}

User's algorithms:

static class Algorithms
{
    public static T Sum<P, T>(this P p, params T[] a)
        where P: INumericPolicy<T>
    {
        var r = p.Zero();
        foreach(var i in a)
        {
            r = p.Add(r, i);
        }
        return r;
    }

    ...
}

Usage:

int i = All.P.Sum(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
long l = All.P.Sum(1L, 2, 3, 4, 5);
