Subject: [Boost-users] [boost] Does boost 1.70 officially support VS2019 14.2 compiler

Hi,

Does boost 1.70 officially support VS2019 14.2 compiler ? 

Boost.org doesn't explicitly say that they does or doesn't support VS2019 14.2. Also they have 14.1 listed as a "primary compiler tested". 

Boost.org doesn't explicitly  “officially support” any compiler.

(This is because NO compilers perfectly implement the imperfect and evolving C++ standard).

“What You See Is What You Get” applies instead.

You need to consult the test matrix results to get a good guide.

See https://www.boost.org/development/index.html

For example, the master summary will tell you what you will get next release

https://www.boost.org/development/tests/master/developer/summary.html

to see what works (and what doesn’t).

And test yourself.

Having said that, I don’t see many things that 14.2 ‘breaks’ (that is what worked with 14.1 also works for 14.2),

(Obviously the converse doesn’t apply as 14.2 handles new features).

So the TL;DR answer to your question is probably “Yes”.

HTH
