Dear all,
Is there are reason why we do not compile with this flag set by default? Are there any users of Boost out there which actually wants the securuty mode turned on?
I personally prefer to have _SECURE_SCL=0 in Release builds too. For users that also have to build against other libraries that are provided as precompiled binaries that use the MSVC defaults this would break things. The _SECURE_SCL setting changes the ABI.
If not, then I suggest that we change the build settings.
I think it would be ok to allow both options, but probably the default should equal the Microsoft default with an easy way to opt-out of the madness!
But AFAIK, even the prebuilt binaries that you get from Boost Consulting are built with _SECURE_SCL=0. -Thorsten
