[Boost-users] Compiler limitation (MSVS 2015 update 2) or real error using boost::async?

Subject: [Boost-users] Compiler limitation (MSVS 2015 update 2) or real error using boost::async?
From: James Swift (james_at_[hidden])

Hi,

I'm getting an error with the following code only with Visual C++. (VS 2015
update 2. I also tried preview of VS 15 but it's the same)
Clang and GCC are OK with this but perhaps VS is just more strict but
correct?

The error is deep in boost internals and I can't work out which object is
move only and/or has it's copy constructor deleted or if it's true at all!

Any help greatly appreciated.

kind regards,
James Swift
