Hi,

i just wondered why compilation was done with wchar_t as native type, 
rather than as configured a typdef. 
I then had a look at the compile response files and recognized, that the 
configuration of the compileflags
was not read from the user-config.jam in 1.55 --- same file as used in 
1.54.

As a workaround toolset configurations maybe modified (in may case 
msvc.jam, msvc.py).

Did anybody had the same problems ?

Greetz.

relevant configuration line from user-config.jam

# Configure specific msvc version (searched for in standard locations and 
PATH).
using msvc : 8.0 : 
  <compileflags>-Zc:wchar_t-
  <compileflags>-Zi
  <compileflags>-D_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
  <compileflags>-DBOOST_THREAD_PROVIDES_BASIC_THREAD_ID
;
