#11597: undefined reference to boost::system::generic_category()

 Reporter:  davido              |      Owner:  bemandawes
     Type:  Bugs                |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined    |  Component:  system
  Version:  Boost 1.59.0        |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  deprecated methods  |
--------------------------------+------------------------
 There is BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED macro that allows to ignore deprecated
 vars and functions. However, this not trivial for big size project
 (LibreOffice) that depends on dozen external libraries, that use boost, to
 propagate this define.

 To rectify it, reverse the logic and require the folks to define
 BOOST_SYSTEM_DEPRECATED only when deprecated stuff is really needed, with

    # ifdef BOOST_SYSTEM_DEPRECATED
    [...]
    # endif
