Comment (by ramey):

 So the actual bug is this 'ifndef'.

 Why it was placed here? Most likely by mistake.

 nope - removing it will result in compile errors on platforms which don't
 define wchar_t

 according to documentation on boost.config, BOOST_NO_CWCHAR is meant to
 indicate that the platform doesn't have headers for  <wchar.h> and
 <cwchar> so that's not a great choice either

 And... If we remove the

  remove #ifndef BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T
 everything (including /Zc:wchar_t and /Zc:wchar_t- configurations)
 compiles fine.

 I can't see how this would actually work
