Description Andrew Overholt CLA 2011-06-24 12:54:57 EDT 
The Boost library is a popular C++ library.  We should provide ready-to-go libhover support for it like we do for glibc.

http://www.boost.org
Comment 1 Jeff Johnston CLA 2012-08-29 15:32:34 EDT 
Unfortunately, the boost library documentation is not segregated into method descriptions as is the case for libstdc++ library and cannot be automatically parsed (cannot parse the paragraph sections on how to use the methods).  The library reference sections just show the class and method prototypes.  Thus, libhover cannot offer any more than method prototypes which is already provided by C/C++ indexing of the header files and is in effect of no value since libhover for C++ requires the C/C++ indexer. 

Therefore, I am closing this as INVALID as that is the closest option provided (CANTFIX would be more appropriate).
