Tom: thanks for the cl.exe reference.
I’ve updated my cross-reference to include that.

Please note that the version currently in use is Visual C++ 14.1.5 [common name 14.15] (cl.exe 19.15) which is different from 14.1 (cl.exe 19.10).
My concern is the impact of Microsoft adding compiler features across the Visual C++ version 14 family.
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support
As you can see from the C++17 support column for Visual C++, the feature support is a bit of a train wreck w.r.t. the 14.1x series.
I would request that listed version be updated to note that this is compiler version 14.15 so that people know which compiler is being used.

I wanted to bring to your attention that the Visual C++ version number for v14.1 has seven (7) variants. The exact one depends upon the version of Visual Studio 2017 installed. It is not clear from either the testers or the release notes for 1.70.0 which Visual C++ 14.1 is being referenced.

The teeks99-* visual studio testers attempt to determine the exact version of each compiler they are running. This is output in the runner info:
https://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/summary.html
Under the compiler version heading:
msvc-8.0 - 14.00.50727.762 - 80x86
msvc-8.0-64 - 14.00.50727.762 - x64
msvc-8.0-32-64 - 14.00.50727.762 - x64
msvc-9.0 - 15.00.30729.01 - 80x86
msvc-9.0-64 - 15.00.30729.01 - x64
msvc-9.0-32-64 - 15.00.30729.01 - x64
msvc-10.0 - 16.00.40219.01 - 80x86
msvc-10.0-64 - 16.00.40219.01 - x64
msvc-10.0-32-64 - 16.00.40219.01 - x64
msvc-11.0 - 17.00.61030 - x86
msvc-11.0-64 - 17.00.61030 - x64
msvc-11.0-32-64 - 17.00.61030 - x64
msvc-12.0 - 18.00.40629 - x86
msvc-12.0-64 - 18.00.40629 - x64
msvc-12.0-32-64 - 18.00.40629 - x64
msvc-14.0 - 19.00.24215.1 - x86
msvc-14.0-64 - 19.00.24215.1 - x64
msvc-14.0-32-64 - 19.00.24215.1 - x64
msvc-14.1-32-32 - 19.15.26726 - x86
msvc-14.1-32-64 - 19.15.26726 - x64
msvc-14.1-64-32 - 19.15.26726 - x86
msvc-14.1-64-64 - 19.15.26726 - x64
That is the superset of everything installed on the runner, but for a specific msvc-XX.X version it should only have one specific version of cl.exe.
