[Boost-users] [1.34.0] Problem building with VS 7.1.

   Hi all.

   When attempting to build Boost 1.34.0 on Windows XP SP2 (full updates 
applied) using MSVC 7.1 (both with and without SP1 applied) several of 
the libraries fail to build.

   They cause Visual Studio's compiler cl.exe to crash with a 'Microsoft 
Visual C++ Runtime Library' error message box stating: 'A buffer overrun 
has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The 
program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.'.

   The exact list of libraries that fail to build is:

bin.v2\libs\graph\build\msvc-7.1\debug\threading-multi\read_graphviz_spirit.obj
bin.v2\libs\graph\build\msvc-7.1\release\threading-multi\read_graphviz_spirit.obj
bin.v2\libs\graph\build\msvc-7.1\debug\read_graphviz_spirit.obj
bin.v2\libs\graph\build\msvc-7.1\release\read_graphviz_spirit.obj
bin.v2\libs\graph\build\msvc-7.1\debug\link-static\threading-multi\read_graphviz_spirit.obj
bin.v2\libs\graph\build\msvc-7.1\release\link-static\threading-multi\read_graphviz_spirit.obj
bin.v2\libs\graph\build\msvc-7.1\debug\link-static\read_graphviz_spirit.obj
bin.v2\libs\graph\build\msvc-7.1\release\link-static\read_graphviz_spirit.obj
bin.v2\libs\graph\build\msvc-7.1\debug\link-static\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\read_graphviz_spirit.obj
bin.v2\libs\graph\build\msvc-7.1\release\link-static\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\read_graphviz_spirit.obj
bin.v2\libs\graph\build\msvc-7.1\debug\link-static\runtime-link-static\read_graphviz_spirit.obj
bin.v2\libs\graph\build\msvc-7.1\release\link-static\runtime-link-static\read_graphviz_spirit.obj

   The same behavior has been reproduced on 4 out of 5 machines we tried 
it on and all might have a bit different setups so there is no obvious 
reason why the it works on one machine (perhaps the overrun simply is 
not detected correctly there :-(). The one machine that it worked on is 
one of the developer's home box and so definitely can not be considered 
a controlled environment :-).

   Is this a known problem? Anyone else encountered it?

   If needed we can easily reproduce it and help someone debug it.

   Attached is the exact boost build output when attempting to build 
libraries that failed and a screen shot of the error message box.

   Best regards,
     Jurko Gospodnetiæ
