Fail to build under Visual Studio 2013 RC since revision 86107

[gauchyler@…]

From revision 86107, boost cannot be built under Visual Studio 2013 RC. For example, by entering the command line to build 'test':

bjam stage --with-test

The following error message is returned:

unit_test_parameters.cpp

same here. I's trying to build date_time. Sure enough, reverting to rev 86106 worked. What really amazes me: in rev 86107 the same code lines as in rev 86106 are active for cl12rc.

I got down to modifying the essential lines in file

boost-trunk\boost\concept\detail\concept_def.hpp

to

 #if 1 
 #define BOOST_concept(blah) \
  ...
 #endif 

I may also replace the #if 1 and do this and cl12rc still did the build:

 // #if 1
 #pragma message("dude, this message line fixes build for cl12rc!?")
 #define BOOST_concept(blah) \
  ...
 // #endif

But as soon as I had neither of those preprocessor commands beforehand the #define BOOST_concept, cl12rc reported the same compile errors mentioned in the first posting.

My evaluation time for VS2013RC has expired some time ago, but cl12rc still works when called from cmd, e.g. by bjam. I sense, there might be a bug in the preprocessor of cl12rc, not necessarily a bug in the boost src file "concept_def.hpp"

It works, Thanks

Works.

ticket submitted to MSVC in case it's a preprocessor bug on MSVC connect's website, id# 804975

This no longer reproduces with this version of 2013:

Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 18.00.21005.1 for x86

[acharles <acharles@…>]

Note, it doesn't reproduce with the develop branch of Boost.
