always link to MSVC compiled boost libraries. My opinion is to either patch the code (what we did) or leave it alone and let user deal with it. I do not think it is such a bad idea running regression intel tests with _SECURE_SCL defined. The important thing is that the macro needs to be defined consistently.
Well, the problem is a new user will expect that he can just link against a boost library from MSVC for example and freely switch between the Intel and Microsoft Compiler -- which is clearly not possible if Intel-generated libraries require the use of _SECURE_SCL=0. Even with clear documentation, lots of people will run into this, as -- for the better or worse -- _SECURE_SCL=1 by default. The best is to report this to Intel/Dinkumware, and let them sort it out as it affects basically every user who has the bought the Intel Compiler for MSVC -- which has been done already IIRC.
