[boost] [lockfree] _ENABLE_ATOMIC_ALIGNMENT_FIX for VS 2015 Update 2

Hi, While running Boost.Lockfree's tests, one of our compiler devs encountered the following failure: freelist_test.cpp c:\wcfb01\binaries\x86chk\inc\atomic(659): error C2338: You've instantiated std::atomic<T> with sizeof(T) equal to 2/4/8 and alignof(T) < sizeof(T). Before VS 2015 Update 2, this would have misbehaved at runtime. VS 2015 Update 2 was fixed to handle this correctly, but the fix inherently changes layout and breaks binary compatibility. Please define _ENABLE_ATOMIC_ALIGNMENT_FIX to acknowledge that you understand this, and that everything you're linking has been compiled with VS 2015 Update 2 (or later). c:\wcfb01\binaries\x86chk\inc\atomic(669): note: see reference to class template instantiation 'std::_Atomic_base<_Ty,4>' being compiled with [ _Ty=boost::lockfree::detail::tagged_index ] e:\boost\boost\boost\lockfree\detail\freelist.hpp(608): note: see reference to class template instantiation 'std::atomicboost::lockfree::detail::tagged_index' being compiled e:\boost\boost\boost\lockfree\detail\freelist.hpp(609): note: see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::lockfree::detail::fixed_size_freelist' being compiled call "C:\WCFB01\binaries\x86chk\bin\i386\vcvarsall.bat" x86 >nul cl /Zm800 -nologo @"..\bin.v2\libs\lockfree\test\freelist_test.test\msvc-latest\debug\threading-multi\freelist_test.obj.rsp" ...failed compile-c-c++ ..\bin.v2\libs\lockfree\test\freelist_test.test\msvc-latest\debug\threading-multi\freelist_test.obj... with the following type: class tagged_index { public: typedef boost::uint16_t tag_t; typedef boost::uint16_t index_t; protected: index_t index; tag_t tag; }; This is by design - your tagged_index has align 2, size 4, triggering the need for my atomic alignment fix. As the static_assert advises, your code needs to define _ENABLE_ATOMIC_ALIGNMENT_FIX in order to pass. If this has already been fixed in 1.61.0, then that's great (I haven't checked). Thanks, STL
