Note that C++ successfully strives to maintain backwards compatibility.

But OP is talking about forward compatibility [he want to compile Boost-1.47 with VS2017, there is a six year gap, the wrong way], which obviously is never gonna happen.

Since C++17 is backward compatible with C++03 - I would be very very surprise if it failed to work. In fact I always test with std=C++03 flag to ensure exactly that.
