I want (need) to use boost libs as dll with a static run-time library. In this case auto_link.hpp gives me an error "Mixing a dll boost library with a static runtime is a really bad idea...". Why is it a bad idea? I don't think that it's a good idea but requirements in our project demand static-runtime linkage for all modules and they don't want to use regex as static library cause of it's size. What problems could it cause? I know only one problem with a memory allocation in different modules. Any more?
