Yes, almost all MSVC12 release tests fail because of this error. It was fixed in trunk in r84443, but the fix hasn't been merged to the release branch yet.

The problem has already been mentioned several times on the maling lists and the bug tracker:

So that's an MSVC-12 RC bug? I was thinking the tester used the final MSVC-12. Ok then. Thanks for the references.

No, it's a boost bug (part of an MSVC 11 bug workaround is active for only MSVC 11 while another part is active for MSVC 11+). RTM is also affected.

I see. Thanks again for the clarification.

I just finished merging and testing locally. It was causing both MSVC 2012 and 2013 to fail iterator_adaptor_test (and many other tests in many other libraries). After the merge, iterator_adaptor_test passes for both compilers. I'll request permission to merge.

Thank you Beman for taking care of this.

I'm about to do the merge and test locally. Assuming it works I'll request permission to merge. --Beman
