What modern C++ libraries should be in my toolbox? [closed]

by

I’ve been out of the C++ game for about 10 years and I want to get back in and start on a commercial app. What libraries are in use these days?

  • User interface (e.g, wxWidgets, Qt)
  • Database
  • General purpose (e.g. Boost, Loki, STL)
  • Threading
  • Testing
  • Network/sockets

I looking to be cross-platform compatible (as much as possible out-of-the-box).

What libraries to do you rely on? What features do they provide that make them “indispensable”?

See my answer below for a summary.
