[context/coroutine] DLL link errors in VS2015

I'm migrating some existing code that uses Boost.Coroutine from VS2013 to VS2015 and from Boost 1.55 to Boost 1.60. (Minor aside: coroutine<T>::push_type had an empty() method in 1.55 which has vanished in 1.60. This was mildly annoying but easily fixed by using operator! instead.) The code builds and runs fine as-is in VS2015 with Boost 1.60. However I wanted to try migrating to Boost.Coroutine2 as well, since Coroutine is deprecated. This however gives me the following errors: t:\boost\boost_1_60_0\boost\context\execution_context.ipp(209): warning C4251: 'boost::context::execution_context::ptr_': class 'boost::intrusive_ptr<boost::context::detail::activation_record>' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'boost::context::execution_context' t:\boost\boost_1_60_0\boost\context\execution_context.ipp(54): note: see declaration of 'boost::intrusive_ptr<boost::context::detail::activation_record>' error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class boost::intrusive_ptr<struct boost::context::detail::activation_record> boost::context::detail::activation_record::current_rec" (?current_rec@activation_record@detail@context@boost@@2V?$intrusive_ptr@Uactivation_record@detail@context@boost@@@4@A) I'm building with BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK, in case that makes a difference. Is this a known issue? Is it fixed in a later Boost release? (FWIW, Boost.Coroutine also generates C4251 with a different symbol but does not generate LNK2001, so the application still works.)

At the moment I've no Windows system to test it, but the error might be caused by a missing export statement. In execution_context_v1.hpp change the code to: struct BOOST_CONTEXT_DECL activation_record ... struct BOOST_CONTEXT_DECL activation_record_initializer ...

Boost 1.60 doesn't have that file. But making those changes in execution_context.ipp causes the errors mentioned in https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11365 ie. being incompatible with thread_local (thread locals need to be behind a pimpl wall; they can't be exported directly). I'm about to try updating to 1.63 anyway, so we'll see how that goes, I guess.

Good news: looks like this isn't an issue any more with Boost 1.63. My apologies for the noise.

Although now I have a related-but-different problem. typedef boost::coroutines2::coroutine<void>::push_type coroutine; std::vector<coroutine> coros; coros.emplace_back(std::bind(std::forward<F>(f), i, std::placeholders::_1)); // where f is a template functor&& and i is a template iterator This code compiles fine in: - VS2013 (Windows, Boost 1.55, coroutines1) - VS2015 (Windows, Boost 1.55, coroutines1) - GCC 4.8.2 (Linux, Boost 1.55, coroutines1) - VS2015 (Windows, Boost 1.63, coroutines1 & coroutines2) - GCC 4.8.2 (Linux, Boost 1.63, coroutines1) But using GCC with Boost 1.63 and coroutines2 I get some quite verbose errors that I'm having trouble making sense of. (Clang 3.4 gives a similar error.)

What were the actual code changes related to that issue? I don't see anything linked. Is it just header changes or will I have to rebuild the library? Also: commit b4e18ff60049 on context is going to cause problems, as mentioned before: you can't export something that contains thread-locals. Whatever code was released in 1.63 seems fine and didn't need changing, or at least did not generate any warnings/errors related to exports.
