Milestone:  To Be Determined                 |  Component:  exception
  Version:  Boost 1.61.0                     |   Severity:  Optimization

 Compiling with VS2015 on Win7 64 bit building a 32 bit exe: I get the
 following error:

 3>c:\boost\boost_1_61_0\boost\exception\errinfo_errno.hpp(36): error
 C4996: 'strerror': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using
 strerror_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS.
 See online help for details.

 While I can work around this by using _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS, that flies
 in the face of what Boost is about - namely quality. I don't want to do
 something that weakens my ability to detect unsafe code.
