Some patches to Boost 1.60.0 RC1 are required to build my software with GCC 4.4.7 and GCC 4.8.2 on CentOS 6 with the following CXXFLAGS:

GCC 4.4.7: -Wall -Wextra -Werror -std=gnu++98 -g -O3 -mtune=native -ffast-math -funroll-loops  -DNDEBUG -m64

GCC 4.8.2: -Wall -Wextra -Werror -std=gnu++98 -g -O3 -mtune=native -ffast-math -funroll-loops  -DNDEBUG
-Wno-unused-local-typedefs -Wstrict-null-sentinel -Woverloaded-virtual -m64

The patches we need are:

1.      boost/property_tree/detail/json_parser/standard_callbacks.hpp, adding a "return new_tree();" after the "assert(false);" on line 131. This is https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11501 but my co-worker chose to use the return rather than std::abort()

2.      boost/property_tree/detail/json_parser_write.hpp which is previously reported as https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5598


3.      boost/lexical_cast.hpp, effectively restoring the file to the version released in 1.59.0. See my previous posting: http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2015/12/85396.php


I'm glad to see some of the issues I reported with Beta 1 have been addressed.

Thanks,
Shane Turner

As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download
the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report
both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy.


I have built the RC on Mac OS X with the following results:

* Apple clang C++03: Success
* Apple clang C++11: Success
* Apple clang C++14: Boost.Context failed to build
* gcc 4.9.2 C++03: Success
* gcc 4.9.2 C++11: Success
* gcc 4.9.2 C++14: Success
