     Type:  Bugs                  |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined      |  Component:  Building Boost
  Version:  Boost 1.65.0          |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                        |
----------------------------------+----------------------------
 Trying to compile the new Boost 1.65.1 with Mingw w64 (gcc 4.8.3) on a
 Windows 10.

 While running {{{bootstrap.bat gcc}}} I get:

 {{{
 ...
  \boost_1_65_1\tools\build\src\engine>.\bootstrap\jam0 -f build.jam
  --toolset=gcc "--toolset-root= "
  ...found 161 targets...
  ...updating 3 targets...
  [MKDIR] bin.ntx86_64
  [COMPILE] bin.ntx86_64\b2.exe
  debugger.c: In function 'debug_start_child':
  debugger.c:1128:5: error:
  'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode
       for ( int i = 1; i < argc; ++i )
       ^
  debugger.c:1128:5: note: use option -std=c99 or -std=gnu99 to compile
 your code
  strings.c: In function 'string_rtrim':
  strings.c:195:5: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code
  [-Wpedantic]
       char * p = self->value + self->size - 1;
       ^
  ...
 }}}

 So making a small modification (declare the ''i'' variable outside the
 for-loop) into {{{boost_1_65_1\tools\build\src\engine\debugger.c:1128}}} I
 can make it compile perfectly.

 I guess adding {{{--std=c99}}} or {{{--std=c11}}} into
 {{{boost_1_65_1\tools\build\src\engine\config_toolset.bat:204}}} could
 been even better.
