I'm still having a lot of issues with the latest Boost.Test not building:
On Win32 with Intel's 11.1 and 12.1 compilers I see:
..\..\..\boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp(104): error: invalid redeclaration of type name "_invalid_parameter_handler" (declared at line 228 of "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\INCLUDE\stdlib.h") typedef void* _invalid_parameter_handler;
This was not changed. Is this new compiler?
12.1 is, but the same issue occurs on 11.1 which has been around for ages.
Well, in might have never worked or something changed outside of Boost.Test cause this line was there since 2007 and nothing relevant change in a vicinity since.

P.S. If you (or someone else) know what needs to be done to fix this I am open to patches
Here's the problem: In VC10, the declaration in stdlib.h is: typedef void (__cdecl *_invalid_parameter_handler)(const wchar_t *, const wchar_t *, const wchar_t *, unsigned int, uintptr_t); But then you redeclare as: typedef void* _invalid_parameter_handler; Now if the compiler is *really* VC10, then your workaround code isn't activated and everything is OK, but when the compiler is Intel sitting on top of MSVC, BOOST_MSVC is rightly not defined, so: # if (!BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC, >= 1400 ) && \ !defined(BOOST_COMO)) || defined(UNDER_CE) Evaluates to true, and the problematic workaround occurs. Furthermore, I've just checked the headers on my HD and VC8, 9 and 10 all do define that symbol in stdlib.h in exactly the same way: #if !defined(_M_CEE_PURE) /* a invalid_arg handler procedure. */ typedef void (__cdecl *_invalid_parameter_handler)(const wchar_t *, const wchar_t *, const wchar_t *, unsigned int, uintptr_t); /* establishes a invalid_arg handler for the process */ _CRTIMP _invalid_parameter_handler __cdecl _set_invalid_parameter_handler(_In_opt_ _invalid_parameter_handler _Handler); _CRTIMP _invalid_parameter_handler __cdecl _get_invalid_parameter_handler(void); #endif So I suggest that: * You change the definition of _invalid_parameter_handler to the correct one, and, * Use _MSC_VER in place of BOOST_MSVC in the pp-test: # if (!BOOST_WORKAROUND(_MSC_VER, >= 1400 ) && \ !defined(BOOST_COMO)) || defined(UNDER_CE) John.
