Boost has shipped string_ref since 1.53. See www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/libs/utility/doc/html/string_ref.html
In the meantime, the C++ committee has shipped a final version, named string_view, in the Library Fundamentals TS. See http://www.open- std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/n4480.html#string.view
In addition to the name change, the interface in the TS more closely mimics the std::basic_string interface.
I'd really like to see the final TS basic_string_view added to Boost so I can start using it now.
use a typedef for now; and I'll update the boost implementation post 1.59 release.
