A 1.47.0 VC++ 10.0 build of Boost produced a lot of stupid warnings from Serialization in the form c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\INCLUDE\xutility(2227) : warning C4996: 'std::_Copy_impl': Function call with parameters that may be unsafe - this call relies on the caller to check that the passed values are correct. To disable this warning, use -D_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See documentation on how to use Visual C++ 'Checked Iterators'
These can be shut off various ways, such as sticking "#include <boost/config/warning_disable.hpp>" at the start of the file being compiled.
Hmmm - it would seem to me the easiest and least intrusive way to deal with this is tweak the bjam build script. I build an test with MSVC 9.0 which also has this "facility" and I don't get the errors so maybe the build script already has this in it. I'll look into it. Robert Ramey
