Latest Boost.Test version broke runtime_config::get

Hi everyone, version 1.69 of boost.test broke the line *runtime_config::get<log_level>(runtime_config::btrt_log_level)* It works with static linking, however it breaks on dynamic linking. Error message is *boost::runtime::arg_type_mismatch: Access with invalid type for argument corresponding to parameter log_level* In particular the following program fails: * #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE example #define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK #include <iostream> #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <boost/test/unit_test_parameters.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(failDyn) { using namespace boost::unit_test; std::cout << runtime_config::get<log_level>( runtime_config::btrt_log_level ) << std::endl; }* if boost.test is linked dynamically. Best regards, David Sommer

Boost, MacOSx, and 64 bit
by S. L. Garwood 04 Feb '19

I have built boost 1.68 and 1.69 on MacOSX. When I try to use the binary components in a link, I get an error about not being able to find a version for x86_64. Does anyone have any tips? Is there a 64 but specific define for the build? Boost 1.66 from MacPorts seems to be fine but they don’t have 1.68 or 1.69 available (yet). I have a lot of software build using MacPorts so a migration to Homebrew is not really doable at this time.

Windows 64 bit Libraries.
by A Z 02 Feb '19

The boost library contains links to 64 bit Windows libraries on the bintray website, at https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.66.0/binaries/. However, these libraries are only for versions of the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, which do not have compatible bit profiles towards GNU G++, but more particularly with 64 bit Windows TDM. Is it possible for someone at BOOST to build and post libraries for Windows 64 bit TDM C++ for public and professional downloading and usage?
