You can use the corresponding -Wno-.... isn't it?

Of course I can find workarounds. I can use that option. Or drop -Wextra. Or not use clang++. Or chose to stay with Boost 1.57.0. None of that sounds like a solution. As I've pointed out prior versions of Boost didn't exhibit this behavior, and I actually like having warnings enabled for code that I write, and having a third-party library I use emit hundreds of warnings totally defeats that purpose. Encouraging application developers not to use warnings seems somewhat dangerous ground, too. Now if you tell me that there's technical reason why this typedef is really, really required and that the code wouldn't work otherwise then that would be something to consider. But until then I consider this a bug, and a regression.
