boost::range in msvc14

[Gijsbert dos Santos <mail@…>]

I'm not sure this is the right place to report the issue, but here goes:

When I tried to compile the HPX library with the new msvc14 (visual studio 2015 preview), I got several errors which seem to indicate that there are possibly some issues in the std::atomic implementation and some unfortunate interactions with boost::range

The errors are attached both as a screenshot and a text file with the compiler output

(I'm also reporting this to the msvc and HPX bug trackers)

The compiler log looks like there are problems with symbols being brought into the global namespace. I personally use std::atomic with boost::range admittedly not with MSVC without issue. This would be a very common combination and there are no other reported tickets.

I suspect the issue is in code that is bringing symbols into the global namespace with using namespace, or using. std::atomic share no symbols and has absolutely no interaction with Boost.Range. You have a large number of errors reported from template instantiating a large number of Boost libraries.
