Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #7243: b2.exe crashes on Windows 8 x64 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7243 <p> On Windows 8 release (x64) b2.exe crashes due to bad malloc()'s. This appears to be caused by a missing stdlib.h include in mem.h. </p> <p> Attached is a very simple fix. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7243 Trac 1.4.3 Bryan Ashby <nuskooler@…> Fri, 17 Aug 2012 22:55:51 GMT attachment set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7243 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7243 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">boost.tools.build.v2.engine.mem.h.patch</span> </li> </ul> <p> Patch for mem.h </p> Ticket Bryan Ashby <nuskooler@…> Fri, 17 Aug 2012 22:57:10 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7243#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7243#comment:1</guid> <description> <p> Possibly related, v1.50 of boost crashes in jam0.exe on Windows 8 x64.

Both seem to be related to pointer truncation. </p> <p> See the attached boost_1_51_0_win8_x64_compat.patch file </p> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> <item> <dc:creator>Steven Watanabe</dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:54:28 GMT</pubDate> <title>status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7243#comment:3 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7243#comment:3 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> (In <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/80097" title="Add missing #include.
