MSVC C4506 warning not suppressed by jamfile

[Paul A. Bristow-2]

Feeling anally retentive today ;-)

I am trying to silence this warning.

As it is in MS code, there isn't much we can do about it - and I've no
reason suppose it is a meaningful warning.

For example (there are others) I find it running
boost_1_37_0\libs\algorithm\string\test

usinstances.cpp
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\INCLUDE\xstring(239) :
warning C4506: no definition
for inline function 'size_t std::char_traits<_Elem>::length(const _Elem *)'
        with
        [
            _Elem=unsigned short
        ]

In my jamfile.v2 project requirements I have added

       <toolset>msvc:<cxxflags>/wd4506 # NO definition for inline function
in MS Xstring).

But this does not silence it :-((

(I've also had trouble silencing some C4996 - unsafe checked iterators
warning - this might have a common cause).

Suggestions?  Thanks

Paul

cxxflags is not propagated.  You need to suppress this from within the
regex jamfile.

You are, as ever, correct and this in

I:\boost_1_37_0\libs\regex\build\Jamfile.v2

lib boost_regex : ../src/$(SOURCES) $(ICU_EXTRA_SOURCE) icu_config2
icu_config
    :
        #<link>static:<define>BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB=1
        #<link>static:<define>BOOST_REGEX_STATIC_LINK=1
       <link>shared:<define>BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK=1
       <toolset>gcc-mw:<link>static
       <toolset>gcc-mingw:<link>static
       <toolset>gcc-cygwin:<link>static
       <toolset>msvc:<cxxflags>/wd4506 # NO definition for inline  function
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
       # added PAB 27 Nov 08 for warning in MS Xstring
       $(BOOST_REGEX_ICU_OPTS)
    ;

Does the trick.

Thanks

Paul
