Boost
From OpenOffice.org Wiki
The boost c++ library provides peer-reviewed, portable functionality. The focus is on basic, broadly useful stuff, that's typically found in the system libraries of other languages such as Java or Python (string and text processing, concurrency, math and numerics etc.). Please find detailed documentation here.
Apart from the spirit parsing framework, OOo currently mostly uses the smart pointers, pool memory and binders functionality.
