Hi list. What's the best way to spend your vacation if not trying to get Boost to build on bleeding-edge compilers. I set out to see how well Boost 1.54.0 behaved on the newly released go-live-ready Visual Studio 2013 Preview. Below is the list of bugs filed against Boost and Microsoft. Enjoy. With these patches in place, I can get a complete build working with all libraries normally available on a fresh machine (means that I didn't test Python, MPI, ICU, compressed streams). I haven't been able to find out how to run the tests in any human-readable form, but this should not cause any regressions as it's either increasing workaround bounds or adding headers that the standard mandates already. Boost.Config VS2013 Preview version bump https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8753 The Visual Studio 2013 Preview toolchain has _MSC_VER 1800 and _MSC_FULL_VER 180020617. See the attached patch for the minimum changes that are needed to get anywhere at all. Boost.Build needs support for the VS2013 Preview toolset (18.00.20617.1) https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8754 Visual Studio 2013 Preview is out and claims to be 12.0. I copy-pasted everything related to 11.0 to refer to 12.0 and it Works On My Machine, see attached patch. Boost.Signals VS2013 Preview version bump https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8755 The BOOST_WORKAROUND macros at boost/signals/detail/named_slot_map.hpp:130 and libs/signals/src/named_slot_map.cpp:27 needs to be increased to <= 1800 in order to encompass the Visual Studio 2013 Preview compiler. Boost.MPL VS2013 Preview version bump https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8756 The BOOST_WORKAROUND macros at boost/mpl/assert.hpp lines 37 and 247 need to be changed to also consider BOOST_MSVC, == 1800, patch attached. Boost.Serialization lacks algorithm header include for std::min https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8757 The <algorithm> header providing std::min is not included in boost/archive/iterators/transform_width.hpp, this breaks on Visual Studio 2013 Preview due to library changes. Boost.Asio lacks algorithm header include for std::min https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8758 The <algorithm> header providing std::min is not included in boost/asio/detail/impl/win_iocp_io_service.hpp, this breaks on Visual Studio 2013 Preview due to library changes. std::bind broken with boost/tuple/tuple.hpp or anything else providing a ADL tie https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/792163/std-bind-... Not our fault, I filed a bug on Connect and am hoping that they'll notice it before RTM. 'std::bind' finds our 'tie' if a type from a boost namespace is used in the 'std::function' argument type list. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
