Boost libraries¶

NFD requires Boost libraries, a collection of free peer-reviewed C++ libraries.
NFD should compile and work with Boost 1.48.0 and above.
If distribution does not provide these libraries natively, they can be installed using instruction in Boost FAQ.

The following Boost libraries are approved to use in NFD:

• Asio: portable networking
• Smart Ptr: smart pointer
• Function: function object wrapper
• Bind: bind function arguments
• Test: unit test framework, see also UnitTesting

Other Boost libraries included in Boost 1.48.0 can be approved as necessary.
