boost::bind is a generalization of the standard functions std::bind1st and std::bind2nd. It supports arbitrary function objects, functions, function pointers, and member function pointers, and is able to bind any argument to a specific value or route input arguments into arbitrary positions.
Helps Boost library developers adapt to compiler idiosyncrasies; not intended for library users.

The dynamic_bitset class represents a set of bits. It provides accesses to the value of individual bits via an operator[] and provides all of the bitwise operators that one can apply to builtin integers, such as operator& and operator<<. The number of bits in the set is specified at runtime via a parameter to the constructor of the dynamic_bitset.
Types and conversion functions for correct byte ordering and more regardless of processor endianness.
The Boost Exception library supports transporting of arbitrary data in exception objects, and transporting of exceptions between threads.
The Boost Filesystem Library provides portable facilities to query and manipulate paths, files, and directories.
In C++, writing a loop that iterates over a sequence is tedious. We can either use iterators, which requires a considerable amount of boiler-plate, or we can use the std::for_each() algorithm and move our loop body into a predicate, which requires no less boiler-plate and forces us to move our logic far from where it will be used. In contrast, some other languages, like Perl, provide a dedicated "foreach" construct that automates this process. BOOST_FOREACH is just such a construct for C++. It iterates over sequences for us, freeing us from having to deal directly with iterators or write predicates.
The format library provides a type-safe mechanism for formatting arguments according to a printf-like format-string.
Function object wrappers for deferred calls or callbacks.
The Boost.Function library contains a family of class templates that are function object wrappers.

Interval Container Library, interval sets and maps and aggregation of associated values
Wrap types within round parenthesis so they can always be passed as macro parameters.
Generic in-place construction of contained objects with a variadic argument-list.
The organization of boost integer headers and classes is designed to take advantage of <stdint.h> types from the 1999 C standard without resorting to undefined behavior in terms of the 1998 C++ standard. The header <boost/cstdint.hpp> makes the standard integer types safely available in namespace boost without placing any names in namespace std.
Shared memory, memory mapped files, process-shared mutexes, condition variables, containers and allocators.
Boost.IOStreams provides a framework for defining streams, stream buffers and i/o filters.
The Boost Iterator Library contains two parts. The first is a system of concepts which extend the C++ standard iterator requirements. The second is a framework of components for building iterators based on these extended concepts and includes several useful iterator adaptors.
Define small unnamed function objects at the actual call site, and more.
General literal text conversions, such as an int represented a string, or vice-versa.
Program functions locally, within other functions, directly within the scope where they are needed.
Boost.Math includes several contributions in the domain of mathematics: Floating Point Utilities, Specific Width Floating Point Types, Mathematical Constants, Statistical Distributions, Special Functions, Root Finding and Function Minimization, Polynomials and Rational Functions, Interpolation, and Numerical Integration and Differentiation. Many of these features are templated to support both built-in, and extended width types (e.g. Boost.Multiprecision)
