I was hoping to start running regression tests for the upcoming Visual Studio 2019 (toolset 14.2) and got stumped by an issue. I've set a user-config.jam: using msvc : 14.2 ;

Is this toolset even supported?

As I explained in https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2019/02/245143.php, I had to 'fake' it as 14.1 in project-config.jam:

using msvc : 14.1 : "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual

Studio\\2019\\Preview\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.20.27323\\bin\\HostX64\\x64\\cl.exe"

I was able to get the regression tests to run using this workaround in user-config.jam.

Here's what the config_info is:

I'm disappointed that we can't have general support for future versions of msvc. We don't seem to have this problem with pre-release versions of GCC/Clang.

I've also gotten a run through with the new "rc" that came out today: https://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/output/teeks99-msv...
