Hi,

This is a continuation of the issues I’ve encountered with Boost 1.63.0 using Developer Studio 12.5.

I’m assuming that even with the Boost 1.63.0 build issues that libraries unaffected by the build issues are usable.

Therefore, I have attempted to build one of my small projects in both C++11 and C++14 modes.  The builds of this small project failed with the following error message:

"/opt/boost1.63.0/include/boost/test/unit_test_log.hpp", line 218: Error: boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t::test_unit_skipped hides the virtual function boost::unit_test::test_observer::test_unit_skipped(const boost::unit_test::test_unit&).

This error was encountered compiling a source file containing the following:

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE TestImport
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

Is this a Boost.Test issue or is it a Developer Studio 12.5 issue?

If it is a Boost.Test issue, how do I resolve it?

Kind regards,
Leo
