John,
That's a great explanation which puts my mind at rest and, more importantly,
gives me the understanding that I was missing.
Many thanks.
Best wishes.
Tim Burgess

Hi,
Im getting the following message during compilation of my application:
1>Info: Boost.Config is older than your compiler version - probably nothing bad will happen - but you may wish to look for an update Boost version. Define BOOST_CONFIG_SUPPRESS_OUTDATED_MESSAGE to suppress this message.
I dont want to suppress the message, but would appreciate any mods I need to do to actually stop its cause.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.
As I understand it, its a bug and even if you use the latest version of Boost (or even the unreleased develop branch) you will still get the message.
Not a bug - that's the way it's supposed to work. It's a gentle warning that the Boost release you're using hasn't been tested with that msvc release. VS2017 update 5 came out at about the same time as 1.66 so we hadn't had a chance to adjust Boost.Config for the new features in that release, neither did we have a regression test runner for that compiler at that time. So you can either: * Ignore it and wait for 1.67: some compiler features which could have been enabled will still be disabled (as per the previous msvc release). * Define the macro indicated to shut it up. * Download the current Boost.Config master from https://github.com/boostorg/config/archive/master.zip and extract the contents of /include/boost/ over the top of your boost-root/boost/.
