[Important] Important

To be able to use containers of movable-only values in C++03 mode you will need to use containers supporting move semantics, like Boost.Container containers

Boost.Move has been tested in the following compilers/platforms:

  • Visual C++ >= 7.1.
  • GCC >= 4.1.
[Warning] Warning

GCC < 4.3 and MSVC < 9.0 are deprecated and will be removed in the next version.
