When compiling with vc++ and specifying in my user_config.jam file:

using msvc : 14.1c14 : : <cxxflags>/std:c++14 ; using msvc : 14.1c17 : : <cxxflags>/std:c++latest ;

I am getting the messages:

user-config.jam:5: Unescaped special character in argument <cxxflags>/std:c++14 user-config.jam:6: Unescaped special character in argument <cxxflags>/std:c++latest

What is the workaround for this ?
