Unescaped special character in argument <cxx, flags>/std:c++nn
When compiling with vc++ and specifying in my user_config.jam file: using msvc : 14.1c14 : : <cxxflags>/std:c++14 ; using msvc : 14.1c17 : : <cxxflags>/std:c++latest ; I am getting the messages: user-config.jam:5: Unescaped special character in argument <cxxflags>/std:c++14 user-config.jam:6: Unescaped special character in argument <cxxflags>/std:c++latest I am using the latest 'develop' branch of Boost Build. What is the workaround for this ?

It's because of the ':'

Quote the value: <cxxflags>"/std:c++14" In Christ, Steven Watanabe

The ultimate goal is to make it so that you don't need spaces around punctuation. The warning is issued for anything that will be incompatible with this change. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
