build boost with specific msvcrt.lib
is it possible to provide specific msvcrt.lib while building boost. It uses default one and my build system uses the one specified in build system. this causes heap corruption at the end of program termination. thanks

Boost is 120+ libraries and a dozen or so tools. What do you mean by "building boost" ? Executing b2 from the top-level directory ?
yes I am using b2.exe to build boost test binary for msvc toolset. On Monday, August 17, 2015, Edward Diener <eldiener@tropicsoft.com> wrote:

What do you mean by "build boost test binary" ? Are you running 'b2' from the Boost top-level directory ? Are you specifying a toolset when you run 'b2" ? Are you using the latest Boost from Github or are you using a specific release of Boost ? The only sure way of having Boost use your specific msvcrt.lib is having your specific version of msvcrt.lib found first during the build process.

Hi Abhay, in a normal source build, you'll have several variants, whose naming is described at: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#libra... If you pick the variant matching your projects, things should work fine. Could you describe which MSVC runtime your project is using and which one is used by Boost libraries you link to? - Volodya
Precisely I am using this command to build boost library *b2.exe toolset=msvc --build-type=complete stage --with-test link=shared threading=multi* build system i have uses vcxproj file. This file contains link to specific msvcrt.lib (~\cxCached\msvctool\msvcrt.lib) i have visual studio 12 installed on my machine so when i build boost it uses msvc12 and hence while debugging i see msvc012.dll in lm option . however my project uses msvcrt.dll since i am using header files allocation for boost object happens from msvcrt.dll and free happens from boost dll in tern msvcrt12.dll. This causes heap corruption. Lorenzo mentioned that vs contains batch file to update default msvcrt , what is the name of this batch file? the work around I used to solve this temporarily is move "new" to .ipp files.

vcvars32.bat is in the VC subdirectory of VS. In the older scheme of things toolset=msvc would get you the most current MSVC. To get an older one you had to be more specific with the version number (I am not where I can actually look) but something like msvc-9.0 for VS 2008 I think.

To use a specific VS version there was a toolset option for the build. I have not done it since about 1.45. It always seemed to take some trial and error attempts to get the name right for the toolset for me. I think the option is still mentioned in the :Getting started” doc. It still required setting the environment correctly with the batch file or similar as Lorenzo mentioned.
