In this recipe, we assumed that Boost was installed on the system. Alternatively, we could have fetched and built the Boost dependency at compile-time (see Chapter 8, The Superbuild Pattern, Recipe 2, Managing dependencies with a superbuild: I. The Boost libraries). However, Boost is not a lightweight dependency. In our example code, we used only the most basic infrastructure, but Boost offers a wealth of features and options, and we will refer the interested reader to http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_65_1/libs/test/doc/html/index.html.
