[Boost-users] __fastcall warning when compiling boost in managed c++

Hi, 

I am handling some project which mixes managed and unmanaged C++ code. 
With boost 1.33 I’m hitting problems with the header 
is_mem_fun_pointer_tester.hpp.

There are warnings popping up due to the use of __fastcall 
calling convertion in boost and its incompatible with compiling 
some of our code with the /clr flag turned on. Managed C++ is
incompatible with the __fastcall calling convention because what
it does is it preloads certain registers with the function parameters 
but for /clr compilation it is compiling to MSIL so this cannot be 
done and upon encountering any __fastcall the Managed C++ compiler 
will change it to __stdcall.

Does anyone know the implications of disabling these warnings 
and whether it is safe to do that? I did not get these warnings 
with the previous versions of boost though.

Thanks and regards, 
Chu-Ming
