Boost

• third party Unreal Engine Module of the boost libraries
• current version 1.71.0

Usage

• clone/download the module next to any other module in your project or plugin

  MyProject/Source/<git clone here>

  MyPlugin/Source/<git clone here>

• if you are using the library in the Module MyModule, add the module dependency (Boost) to your MyModule.Build.cs file:

  ..
  PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(
    new string[]
    {
      "CoreUObject",
      "Engine",
      "Slate",
      "SlateCore",
      // ... add private dependencies that you statically link with here ...
      "Boost",
    }
    );
  ..

• if you are using the third party code in MyCode.cpp file, include the boost libraries between such macros(reason and solution):

THIRD_PARTY_INCLUDES_START
#pragma push_macro("check")
#undef check

#include <boost/geometry.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/geometries/point.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/geometries/box.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/index/rtree.hpp>

#pragma pop_macro("check")
THIRD_PARTY_INCLUDES_END

• depending on which headers you include, you might need more of these macros:

THIRD_PARTY_INCLUDES_START
#pragma push_macro("CONSTEXPR")
#undef CONSTEXPR
#pragma push_macro("dynamic_cast")
#undef dynamic_cast
#pragma push_macro("check")
#undef check
#pragma push_macro("PI")
#undef PI

#include <boost/geometry.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/geometries/point.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/geometries/box.hpp>
#include <boost/geometry/index/rtree.hpp>

#pragma pop_macro("PI")
#pragma pop_macro("check")
#pragma pop_macro("dynamic_cast")
#pragma pop_macro("CONSTEXPR")
THIRD_PARTY_INCLUDES_END
