I have built the RC using clang (both Apple's release clang, and a fairly recent built from source version) on Mac OS X 10.11 using libc++ and C++03/11/14 and 1z. $ clang --version Apple LLVM version 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.42.1) $ totclang --version clang version 4.0.0 (trunk 289079) At all language variants, with Apple's clang, Boost.Context fails to build: It also fails to build with ToT clang at all language variants. libs/context/src/asm/make_x86_64_sysv_macho_gas.S:70:5: error: unknown use

The algorithm documentation is in the wrong place. It looks like it was accidentally moved into the combined documentation in the changes to automate documentation building.

One thing I mentioned [1] about 1.62 and several older versions, a few days ago, is also present in this RC: In the "toolset=msvc-14.0 link=shared runtime-link=shared" build, several static libraries are built for no discernible reason. As far as I can tell by watching file system operations (using Sysinternals procmon), these libraries are not accessed again after creation. There is nothing documented about this behavior, and I suspect a bug in the build process. The unexpected files are: libboost_chrono-vc140-mt-1_63.lib libboost_system-vc140-mt-1_63.lib libboost_timer-vc140-mt-1_63.lib libboost_unit_test_framework-vc140-mt-1_63.lib These two are probably expected, because there are no DLLs built for them at all: libboost_test_exec_monitor-vc140-mt-1_63.lib libboost_exception-vc140-mt-1_63.lib Sorry for harping on this, but I still don't understand what's happening here, and would really like to.

please add commit fffb7e7f320162775382d73ea0ac5434d7d55f0e (boost.fiber) to boost-1.63.0 - the patches fixes the mingw issue
