[template tr1_overview[]
Many of the special functions included in this library are also a part
of the either the [C99] or the [tr1].  Therefore this library
includes a thin wrapper header `boost/math/tr1.hpp` that provides
compatibility with these two standards.

There are various pros and cons to using the library in this way:

Pros:

* The header to include is lightweight (i.e. fast to compile).
* The functions have extern "C" linkage,
  and so are usable from other languages (not just C and C++).
* C99 and C++ TR1 Standard compatibility.

Cons:

* You will need to compile and link to the external Boost.Math libraries.
* Limited to support for the types, `float`, `double` and `long double`.
* Error handling is handled via setting ::errno and returning NaN's and 
infinities: this may be less flexible than an C++ exception based approach.

[note The separate libraries are required *only* if you choose to use
boost/math/tr1.hpp rather than some other Boost.Math header, the rest
of Boost.Math remains header-only.]

The separate libraries required in order to use tr1.hpp can be compiled 
using bjam from within the libs/math/build directory, or from the Boost 
root directory using the usual Boost-wide install procedure.  
Alternatively the source files are located in libs/math/src and each have
the same name as the function they implement.  The various libraries are 
named as follows:

[table
[[Name][Type][Functions]]
[[boost_math_c99f-<suffix>][float][C99 Functions]]
[[boost_math_c99-<suffix>][double][C99 Functions]]
[[boost_math_c99l-<suffix>][long double][C99 Functions]]
[[boost_math_tr1f-<suffix>][float][TR1 Functions]]
[[boost_math_tr1-<suffix>][double][TR1 Functions]]
[[boost_math_tr1l-<suffix>][long double][TR1 Functions]]
]

Where `<suffix>` encodes the compiler and build options used to 
build the libraries: for example "libboost_math_tr1-vc80-mt-gd.lib"
would be the statically linked TR1 library to use with Visual C++ 8.0, 
in multithreading debug mode, with the DLL VC++ runtime, where as
"boost_math_tr1-vc80-mt.lib" would be import library for the TR1 DLL
to be used with Visual C++ 8.0 with the release multithreaded DLL
VC++ runtime.
Refer to the getting started guide for a 
[@http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#library-naming 
full explanation of the `<suffix>` meanings].

[note
Visual C++ users will typically have the correct library variant to link 
against selected for them by boost/math/tr1.hpp based on your compiler
settings.

Users will need to define BOOST_MATH_TR1_DYN_LINK when building
their code if they want to link against the DLL versions of these libraries
rather than the static versions.

Users can disable auto-linking by defining BOOST_MATH_TR1_NO_LIB when 
building: this is typically only used when linking against a customised 
build of the libraries.]

[note Linux and Unix users will generally only have one variant of 
these libraries installed, and can generally just link against
-lboost_math_tr1 etc.]

[h4 Usage Recomendations]

This library now presents the user with a choice:

* To include the header only versions of the functions and have
an easier time linking, but a longer compile time.
* To include the TR1 headers and link against an external library.

Which option you choose depends largely on how you prefer to work
and how your system is set up.

For example a casual user who just needs the acosh function, would 
probably be better off including `<boost/math/special_functions/acosh.hpp>`
and using `boost::math::acosh(x)` in their code.  

However, for large scale
software development where compile times are significant, and where the
Boost libraries are already built and installed on the system, then
including `<boost/math/tr1.hpp>` and using `boost::math::tr1::acosh(x)`
will speed up compile times, reduce object files sizes (since there are 
no templates being instantiated any more), and also speed up debugging 
runtimes - since the externally compiled libraries can be 
compiler optimised, rather than built using full settings - the difference
in performance between 
[link math_toolkit.getting_best 
release and debug builds can be as much as 20 times],
so for complex applications this can be a big win.
