Boost release 1.64.0 beta 1 is now available at:
[...]
Please download the beta, give it a try, and report any problems you
encounter.
I tried compiling it on an Ubuntu 16.04 (x86_64) machine with the
following compilers:
* GCC 4.8 with C++11 (and libstdc++)
* GCC 6 with C++14 (and libstdc++)
* Clang 3.8 with C++14 and libc++
GCC 6 and Clang 3.8 succeeded, GCC 4.8 failed. The error can be seen at
the end of this email.
Additionally, I realized two other problems:
1.
Using Boost.Build option "--build-type=complete" does not work (only
"-build-type=minimal" works). Before compilation even started it fails
like this:
error: Name clash for
'
libboost_atomic-gcc48-mt-d-1_64.a'
error:
error: Tried to build the target twice, with property sets having
error: these incompatible properties:
error:
error:     -  <dll-path>/opt/BENOCS/gcc48/bin
error:     -  none
error:
error: Please make sure to have consistent requirements for these
error: properties everywhere in your project, especially for install
error: targets.
2.
The other problem is not specific to this Boost beta but instead existed
from the beginning. When using Boost-Build option "--layout=versioned"
the generated libraries' names should contain the compiler-tag and its
version. However, this stopped working for GCC since the release of GCC
5. It now misses the compiler's version.
I assume it has something to do with GCC changing its version-scheme
where the major-version is increased for each new compiler release.
Hope that helps,
Deniz Bahadir
PS: The following is the error output when compiling with GCC 4.8:

Oh, and I forget to mention another observation:
Why does the configuration summary state that Clang 3.8 does not support 
the "visibility" feature? I think that is just wrong.

The configuration summary for Clang 3.8 looks like the following. 
(Except for the "visibility" feature it is the same for GCC 4.8 and GCC 6.)
