I have been taking my own medicine and trying to get Boost.math free of warnings with the /Za No MS extensions option. Mostly this is fine. project : requirements <toolset>msvc:<cxxflags>/Za # disable MS Extensions in Boost.Test. ... But a few tests *require* the extensions. I have tried to enable them for just one module thus: # pow test requires type_of that MS extensions. run pow_test.cpp ../../test/build//boost_test_exec_monitor : # command line : # input files : # requirements <toolset>msvc:<cxxflags>/Ze # Requires type_of which requires MS extensions. : test_pow ; but the compiler complains about deprecation (and most importantly, that later options do not override, so you can't specify /Za and them /Ze. compile-c-c++ ..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\math\test\test_pow.test\msvc-9.0\debug\asynch-exceptions-on \threading-multi\pow_test.obj cl : Command line warning D9035 : option 'Ze' has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release cl : Command line error D8016 : '/Za' and '/Ze' command-line options are incompatible Can any jam experts suggest a way round this (short of leaving the default enable extensions, and making an exception for all the vast majority of modules that are OK with /Za - too tedious to be attractive? Splitting into two classes of tests is also ugly.) Thanks. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal, UK LA8 8AB +44 1539 561830, mobile +44 7714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
