Hi,

Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad
range of applications, but yet there is no official support available for
Android and iOS

1. Is there any specific reason behind the same (like not optimized for
embedded devices)? Or any other reason?

2. Are there (at all) any known issues if we use boost libraries for
networking and thread synchronization for Smartphone application
development ? Will it be a good idea to use BOOST ASIO for the same?

I found some articles to compile boost but it would be great if we have
some official links.

FYI are the links found
