Is boost supported on z/os
Hello Does boost supported on z/os or may be subset of library. We are planning to replace our current library with boost. One of the platform we support is z/os and so I am researching if boost can be compiled and usable on the platform. I did searched on the internet but did not get much information. Before I dive into it, I thought to ask. Thanks Naveen

Most of the libraries should work well. There may be problems with libraries that use OS calls a lot (like Boost.Filesystem). The best way to know it - to try. If something does not work - we can fix it, but to be able to do that you have to run regression tests for some time on zOS: https://www.boost.org/development/running_regression_tests.html

Thank you. Mostly it will be containers, decimals and regular expressions. I will give it a try. This is the first time I am using boost. I think this mailing list is good for getting help if I have problems building ?
