The answer is maybe :) - It really depends on how compliant your
compiler is and what features of boost you want to use. I just started
the process of migrating a lot of our embedded code to using boost
(1.34) a few months ago with a fair amount of success. We don't use
exceptions or RTTI - I needed to make some minor changes to a couple of
boost headers in order to get them to compile under this configuration.
We don't currently use a huge amount of boost functionality and I know
that some features of boost do require RTTI.
  Our embedded C++ compiler appears to be pretty compliant in its
language and template support which helps a lot. Some embedded compilers
may be lacking in this respect

Subject: [Boost-users] Q and Embedded Systems

I'm new to boost and would like to know if boost can
be used in embedded systems.  Obviously, it'll work if
the system is using derivative of Linux.  What if I
don't have a real OS running on the system.  Can I
still simply fold the source code into my project and
build it?  I'm sure it can be done.  I'm not sure how
difficult it will be.  Thanks.
