I was hoping to start using Visual Studio 2005 as my primary Windows compiler, but this warning from the boost home page was holding me back:
Note: Boost does not support the non-standard “Safe” C++ Library shipping with Visual C++ 8.0, which may result in many spurious warnings from Boost headers and other standards-conforming C++ code. To suppress these warnings, define the macro
_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
.
