I find the idea of a community technical preview surprising, since Microsoft has been repeatedly refusing to fix bugs reported by the community unless you have purchased commercial support.
Have you filed a bug report recently? I filed one this summer and had a response the next day.
I'll help with this with pleasure: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-msm-std-vector-lt-MyStateMachine-gt...
The issue was closed as won't fix and is still that way. The links to related bugs are not working so no idea about them. I won't even think of using VC again until this is fixed, it's simply too big to allow me trust the compiler.
+1, I had reported a memory leak bug [1] to MS and had been told that the behavior is correct as it doesn't contradict the Standard. I can't trust the vendor that treats users this way and declares a memory leak as a valid behavior. I doubt I will ever bother reporting any other bugs in MSVC. [1] The leak appeared in STL streams, if initialized multiple times. Here's a code snippet: https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/boost-log/ticket/2#comment:4 I didn't keep a reference to the MS bug tracker and I can't find it now.
