Comment (by viboes):

 Replying to [comment:5 ixSci <beholder@…>]:
 > Yes it has this define but _WIN32_WCE and UNDER_CE bring some more than
 just implementation of _beginthreadex. It adds some more includes etc. It
 would be better to have different define for WinRT.
 > I've just tried with _WIN32_WCE and it broke Interlocked* family.


 What a meant was a define that is specific to your platform that can be
 used to inhibit the definition of  BOOST_HAS_THREADEX as for example

 #if !defined(_WIN32_WCE) && !defined(UNDER_CE) && !defined(XXX)
 #  define BOOST_HAS_THREADEX
 #  define BOOST_HAS_GETSYSTEMTIMEASFILETIME
 #endif
