I'm not sure I can reproduce this. I'm trying to run with four different
configs:
based on visual studio build tools 16.3.x
toolset=msvc-14.2
toolset=msvc-14.2 cxxflags=/std:c++latest
based on visual studio build tools 16.4.0
toolset=msvc-14.2
toolset=msvc-14.2 cxxflags=/std:c++latest
running in proto
..\..\b2 [config from above] test
works fine for all versions....so this bug isn't covered by a test I'm
guessing.
Running in log
..\..\b2 [config from above] test
causes the log build to fail for both 16.3 and 16.4 for the configurations
that use cxxflags=/std:c++latest. This can be seen in the regression tests
for boost.log:
https://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/log.html
https://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/log.html
teeks99-07-v16[m|d]-64onAMD64 is the normal msvc-14.2
teeks99-07-v16[m|d]l-64onAMD64 is the msvc-14.2 with cxxflags=/std:c++latest
The error looks something like this (and goes on for a bit)
D:\boost\libs\log>..\..\b2 toolset=msvc-14.2 cxxflags=/std:c++latest test

checkout ef2e94fe299449c4b23f305a854de0b5b48248be` and had the exact same
results as above.
Can you provide some steps to minimally reproduce this issue?
Thanks,
