Comment (by anonymous):

 I couldn't modify the bug description, so I placed additional info in the
 follow-up comment, so please read it.

 In short, you should replace the uses of
    #ifndef BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T
 with
    #ifndef BOOST_NO_CWCHAR
 in several headers. (Othervise some functions for wchar_t will not be
 declared in /Zc:wchar_t- configuration.)

 Such replacement would be consistent with other function declarations
 across boost, where type wchar_t is required (whether intrinsic of
 typedef'd). The macro BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T in these headers was used
 incorrectly, because the BOOST_NO_CWCHAR was actually meant.

 The configuration /Zc:wchar_t- seems not to be properly tested in boost,
 as can be concluded from existence of this bug.
