Building Boost with #define BOOST_SP_ENABLE_DEBUG_HOOKS generates compile error C2665 in Visual C++ 2012

[Clifford.Jackson@…]

I ran the following command from a Visual C++ command window.

b2 toolset=msvc-11.0 address-model=32 variant=debug link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared --build-type=complete define=BOOST_SP_ENABLE_DEBUG_HOOKS

I am trying to compile the Boost Libraries with the debug hooks in. Is this a Visual C++ 2012 compiler issue as I also had problems with compilation on Visual C++ 2010. Any ideas? Thanks. I have tried this compilation on both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
