[boost] Re: [thread] Why is there a restriction for the runtimelibraries?

I think the problem is of how to deduce how the boost libs should be linked in when the user does not explicitely specifiy e.g. BOOST_USE_LIB. A reasonable default in this case would be then to link in the library corresponding to the RTL choice.

This was my intention when I wrote the above.

Why? I don't see any context between a shared rt and dynamic boost library. boost.thread shows a different behaviour than other boost libraries (which always default to link the static boost lib). Stefan
