How to include all boost header files?

Question

In Java if you wanted all the classes in a namespace you could just do this:

import com.bobdylan.*;

Is there anyway I can get a result similar to:

import boost.*;

(except in C++)

Answer 1

Not automatically. You can write a single header file that #includes all the other headers you are interested in, and then just #include that, but that's it - C++ has no "import" feature like java.

Answer 2

You probably don't want to #include all of Boost -- it's a very large library, so just include what you need.

Also, a Neil says, there is no equivalent in C++ to the Java .* syntax, so you must either include them all manually, or write a single header that includes them all manually and include that.
