Hi, I'm taking this out of the other thread indicated in the subject line, so that it can probably get more attention.
* Microsoft CRT/SCL-secure warnings: to be transparent to users I guess we would better #pragma push/pragma pop around disable-C4996.
I'd ask if we can solve this at the config level. Currently every library seems to do on its own, which doesn't look good. At a cursory inspection at least the following source files disable the warning for themselves: boost/date_time/c_time.hpp boost/interprocess/detail/config_begin.hpp boost/test/detail/enable_warnings.hpp boost/test/detail/suppress_warnings.hpp Serialization seems to do it in its jam file: boost/libs/serialization/build/serialization.jam and boost/tools/jam/src/build.jam also has a /wd4996 for both debug and release targets. It appears we should handle it more consistently. -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ]
