    c++0x and boost clarification request


    Could someone please explain what will happen with boost (and tr1) once c++09
    is out.

    Take regex for example. There would (probably) be a regex support in c++09.
    1) Does that mean I would be able to use both the boost regex library and
    the language regex features? Or would boost community abandon regex?
    2) would boost still exist as a library? Or its entire purpose is to serve
    as the tr1 playground?

    Many thanks, cheers, kev

      I would imagine that boost will drop regex and other things that have
      made it into standard C++. Of course if something is deemed to be badly
      implemented in the standard it might continue to exist as a better
      alternative.

      I would imagine that it will continue to exist for quite some time, if
      nothing else as a playground for TR2.

          There are also a number of components in Boost which are not
          candidates for standardization , and probably never will be. I
          expect that it will continue to exist. With regards to
          components which have been adopted by the standard, I would
          expect development to cease on them, but hopefully, they will
          continue to be available until they really are available in all
          compilers people use (which could be a long time---I think some
          people are still using VC++ 6.0, for example).
