Comment (by Brian Yip <itsbriany@…>):

 I got Boost 1.63 to compile with MSVC 14.10 by cloning the development
 branch of boost build to build the b2.exe executable. I also got Boost
 1.63 to compile with MSVC 14.10 by modifying the project-config.jam file
 (I attached a copy of my project-config.jam).

 I don't think the Windows system exit code 255 is -1 since they seem to
 range from 0 to 159999. Reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-

 us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382(v=vs.85).aspx

 I'm not sure how to get a stack trace because the program won't hit any
 set breakpoints (not even the first line of main). It just tends to crash
 immediately when I use anything from boost log in my code.

 From my understanding, the boost log library is only linked when I call a
 function or macro from it.  If I don't use any code from boost log, the
 program works as expected. Anytime I use a symbol from boost log, the
 program immediately exits with code 255. I suspect this is caused by
 linking the boost log library?
