c++0x and boost clarification request


Could someone please explain what will happen with boost (and tr1) once c++09
is out.

Take regex for example. There would (probably) be a regex support in c++09.
1) Does that mean I would be able to use both the boost regex library and
the language regex features? Or would boost community abandon regex?
2) would boost still exist as a library? Or its entire purpose is to serve
as the tr1 playground?

Many thanks, cheers, kev

I would imagine that boost will drop regex and other things that have
made it into standard C++. Of course if something is deemed to be badly
implemented in the standard it might continue to exist as a better
alternative.
2) would boost still exist as a library? Or its entire purpose is to serve

I would imagine that it will continue to exist for quite some time, if
nothing else as a playground for TR2.

There are also a number of components in Boost which are not
candidates for standardization, and probably never will be. I
expect that it will continue to exist. With regards to
components which have been adopted by the standard, I would
expect development to cease on them, but hopefully, they will
continue to be available until they really are available in all
compilers people use (which could be a long time---I think some
people are still using VC++ 6.0, for example).
