I recently upgraded from 1.56 to 1.59 and my hundreds of well commented JSON parameter files now all fail on the first commented line. This is true for /* */ and // style comments.

This is listed as a breaking change in the release notes at http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_59_0.html

Any hints as to how to deal with this? Removing all my comments is not an option.

If you must use nonstandard JSON then you might want to stick with 1.58, or otherwise write your own parser. Regards, -- Agustín K-ballo Bergé.- http://talesofcpp.fusionfenix.com
