BOOST_SP_DISABLE_THREADS in the case of como strict mode (assuming you can tell) ^^^^^^^ You can not. I asked Greg Comeau for that some time ago.
In that case shouldn't we be setting BOOST_NO_THREADS or some such macro instead of one that's particular to the smart ptr library?
BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS is already being set, but shared_ptr ignores it when it detects Windows. This is because it is very common for people to link single-threaded libraries (that are thread-agnostic except for their use of shared_ptr under the covers) against a multithreaded program and vice versa. (Or it has been common in the past; the new auto link feature may fix that for Boost libraries at least.) This scheme works on every Windows compiler except como in strict mode.
