 * version:  Boost 1.65.0 => Boost 1.66.0

Comment:

 This issue still exists in 1.66.0 compiled on Windows with Intel C++18.
 This code does not compile:

 {{{
 #include <memory>

 #include <boost/dll/alias.hpp>
 #include <boost/dll/shared_library.hpp>

 using namespace std;

 struct Plugin
 {
     static shared_ptr<Plugin> create()
     {
         return make_shared<Plugin>();
     }
 };

 BOOST_DLL_ALIAS(
     Plugin::create,
     CreatePlugin
 )

 int main()
 {
     return 0;
 }
 }}}

 with an error:

 {{{

 nothing bad will happen - but you may wish to look for an update Boost
