Missing features of C++/CLI seems to be flagged erroneously #498

Open WebDancer69 opened 9 months ago

WebDancer69 commented 9 months ago

We are using boost with C++/CLI, but some of the limitations does not seem to be valid.

The config visualc.hpp conditionally sets these: BOOST_NO_CXX11_THREAD_LOCAL BOOST_NO_SFINAE_EXPR BOOST_NO_CXX11_REF_QUALIFIERS BOOST_NO_CXX11_CONSTEXPR

But given the updates to C++/CLI, in particular the recent ones introducing C++20, I don't believe all of these limitations are currently the case.

Also, just missing one of these triggers "does not support C++11", which then invalidates big parts boost for C++/CLI, and soon probably entire boost, unless this is fixed.

Are there some test we can run to verify what is required, and potentially remove (some of) these limitations?

Same problem here. We are using boost and C++/CLI. Newer versions do not work anymore, because of some limitations of C++/CLI, even if these limitations are irrelevant for the particular boost library.
