vcvars32.bat is in the VC subdirectory of VS.
 
In the older scheme of things toolset=msvc would get you the most current MSVC. To get an older one you had to be more specific with the version number (I am not where I can actually look) but something like msvc-9.0 for VS 2008 I think.

Subject: Re: [Boost-users] build boost with specific msvcrt.lib
 
Precisely I am using this command to build boost library

b2.exe toolset=msvc  --build-type=complete stage --with-test link=shared  threading=multi

build system i have uses vcxproj file. This file contains link to specific msvcrt.lib (~\cxCached\msvctool\msvcrt.lib)

i have visual studio 12 installed on my machine

so when i build boost it uses msvc12 and hence while debugging i see msvc012.dll in lm option .

however my project uses msvcrt.dll

since i am using header files allocation for boost object happens from msvcrt.dll and free happens from boost dll in tern msvcrt12.dll. This causes heap corruption.

Lorenzo mentioned that  vs  contains batch file  to update default  msvcrt  ,  what is the name of this batch file? 

the work around I used to solve this temporarily is move "new" to .ipp files.

Hi Abhay,

in a normal source build, you'll have several variants, whose naming is described at:

   http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#library-naming

If you pick the variant matching your projects, things should work fine.

Could you describe which MSVC runtime your project is using and which one is used
by Boost libraries you link to?
