Hi, for more compatibility with existing boost-macros/defines I came up with - see attachment. 1) Is that correct in principle? 2) Problem: for BOOST_NO_CXX23_HDR_XXX I use __has_include. However, __has_include is not guaranteed to exist. How about the solution? 3) Did I miss useful things? thx Gero

Has testing on msvc been dropped?
by Daniela Engert 01 Mar '23

Hi y'all! I've noticed that e.g. Boost.Log no longer compiles on msvc 19.35 (i.e. VS2022 update 5). Looking at the test matrix to figure out where the problem might lie, I couldn't find any column with the test results of *any* msvc version, lest the current one. Is there a reason for no longer running the tests with msvc compilers? thank, Dani -- PGP/GPG: 2CCB 3ECB 0954 5CD3 B0DB 6AA0 BA03 56A1 2C4638C5
