Editing BoostC Explaining Dot H Files

Draft Not Ready


This is my [[russ_hensel]] explanation of BoostC.h.  Others are welcome to contribute.  It is a work in progress, and may or may not be correct.


I believe that boostc.h get included in almost all BoostC compilitations, think this may be via system.h, but I have not figured this out yet.


//Helper macros

ex:
#define clear_bit( reg, bitNumb )	((reg) &= ~(1 << (bitNumb)))

These are inline functions using #defines with arguments. ( see [[]] ) many C programmes use these expressions directly in there code, but using clear_bit instead of equivalent is bothe easier to read and write.  It make the intent of the program cleared, and may make the code easier to port.
