But I see some significant difference. Both std and boost are standard

libraries for most C++ programmers. One 'de-jure' and another

'de-facto'. In the near future both STL and boost will contain similar

set of most-useful entities. Unlike System and XNA.

Just add 'using namespace boost' in this scope for some manner, and you could return

to the previous problem:

{ // begin code using namespaces

using namespace std;

using namespace std::placeholders;

using namespace boost;

std::vector<string> path_parts;

split(vec, "/1/2/3/4", is_any_of("\\/") ); // string splitter from string algo

for_each(path_parts.begin(), path_parts.end(), bind(&SomeClass::RegisterPathPart, _1)); // do something with string parts

} // end code using namespaces
