      Boost.Integer provides integer type support, particularly helpful in generic
 | 
						|
      programming. It provides the means to select an integer type based upon its
 | 
						|
      properties, like the number of bits or the maximum supported value, as well
 | 
						|
      as compile-time bit mask selection. There is a derivative of std::numeric_limits
 | 
						|
      that provides integral constant expressions for <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">min</span></code>
 | 
						|
      and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">max</span></code>. Finally, it provides
 | 
						|
      two compile-time algorithms: determining the highest power of two in a compile-time
 | 
						|
      value; and computing min and max of constant expressions.
