Unable to compile boost/test for C++17

What are your compilation environment and options? I am currently building for Visual C++ 17 with /latest and it compiles fine.

[ki.stfu@…]

std::bind1st (​http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/functional/bind12) and many other things were removed in C++17. Just use the right compiler which removed them from its own implementation.

[Raffi Enficiaud]

I know, and what I am saying is that it should work with C++17 because it is already handled. Would you care indicating me the compiler that you are using, such that I check with boost.config what is wrong?

[Raffi Enficiaud]

For the record, this is what we have in Boost.Test:

#ifdef BOOST_NO_CXX98_BINDERS
#define BOOST_TEST_BIND1ST(F,A) std::bind( (F), (A), std::placeholders::_1 )
#else
#define BOOST_TEST_BIND1ST(F,A) std::bind1st( (F), (A) )
#endif

and ​associated doc

For you BOOST_NO_CXX98_BINDERS should be defined, and it would be useful that you check that. Maybe some include is missing.
