Emulation

Compat	C++ 11	C++11 implementations of standard components added in later C++ standards.

Describe	C++ 03	A C++14 reflection library.
A C++14 reflection library.
Exception	C++ 03	The Boost Exception library supports transporting of arbitrary data in exception objects, and transporting of exceptions between threads.
The Boost Exception library supports transporting of arbitrary data in exception objects, and transporting of exceptions between threads.
Foreach	C++ 03	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.
