Oliver,

I forgot to mention that stack_traits.cpp has a typo: it should include:

    #include <boost/context/stack_context.hpp>

rather than

    #include <boost/econtext/stack_context.hpp>  (note the extra 'e')

Oliver,

I was able to compile and run the context test as a regular Windows app (i.e., not Windows Phone).  Here are the results I got:

C:\Private\Dev\3rdParty\Boost\boost_1.57-Port-for-WP81\boost\bin.v2\libs\context\test\test_context.test\msvc-12.0\debug\link-static\threading-multi>test_context.exe
Running 9 test cases...

It is not clear to me how to compile and run the context test on a Windows Phone.  Windows Phone does not run regular executables, so a GUI client app would need to be written.  It is not clear to me how to run the test for Windows Phone (I doubt the Boost.Test framework supports a Windows Phone interface).  Please advise
