Re: [Boost-users] MSVC compiler error with boost ver 1.71

Depending on what toolset you're using you may well find that VC tells you that Minimal Rebuild (/Gm) is now deprecated. I've just looked at MS docs, which also say it's deprecated. In a lot of projects recently I've been having to turn off Minimal Rebuild and Function-Level Linking (actually setting them to "inherit from parent or project defaults", which removes the setting from the vcxproj file). I too have had it set since forever, but it may not even have been doing what I thought it did, so it may be no great loss. Regards, Richard.

Huge thanks for trying this. I'm using the IDE and my VS version is currently 16.10.2

I've just had a major breakthrough with this... after some further experiments this morning I've realised that the error only occurs if I set the following IDE property to "Yes"

Configuration Properties->C++->Code Generation->Enable Minimal Rebuild

Setting it to "No" fixes the compile problem - but having said that... for Debug builds I've had it set to "Yes" right back since the days of VS2005 and this is the first time it's ever caused any problem (but at least I now know there's a workaround...)

I suspect this'll turn out to be an issue with VS2019 rather than with libboost - so I've reported it to the VS Development Community. Fingers crossed!!
