Precisely I am using this command to build boost library

*b2.exe toolset=msvc  --build-type=complete stage --with-test link=shared
threading=multi*

build system i have uses vcxproj file. This file contains link to specific
msvcrt.lib (~\cxCached\msvctool\msvcrt.lib)

i have visual studio 12 installed on my machine

so when i build boost it uses msvc12 and hence while debugging i see
msvc012.dll in lm option .

however my project uses msvcrt.dll

since i am using header files allocation for boost object happens from
msvcrt.dll and free happens from boost dll in tern msvcrt12.dll. This
causes heap corruption.

Lorenzo mentioned that  vs  contains batch file  to update default  msvcrt
,  what is the name of this batch file?

the work around I used to solve this temporarily is move "new" to .ipp
files.
