Re: [release] Boost 1.81.0 Beta 1 Release Candidate 1 is available

That is a well-known problem in X.h.

I've tried to comb through corporate headers to work with X.h after GPU code was introduced in headers. The only working solution in the end was (a) to hide all use of X.h from headers (b) even creating platform specific minified headers for GPU-aware parts of the code base.

I remember seeing mozilla/firefox tickets about this exact problem with these ancient headers. Perhaps they have more detailed strategies to deal with it in your project.

It's annoying, but it clearly has little to do with Boost or Boost JSON.

Seth
