Re: [boost] PSA: Travis OS X bottleneck, <cxxstd> new Boost.Build feature

In Travis if one updates gcc and clang as part of the update scripts, you end up with "clang++" and "clang++-5.0" for example, where the first one is the version that came with the distribution.

Is there a bjam directive to change the compiler name, for example it would be nice if I could do:

toolset=gcc,clang compiler={g++,g++-7},{clang++,clang++-5.0}

I've been informed that toolset=gcc-7 already works and automagically chooses g++-7 as the compiler. Unfortunately, this trick doesn't work for clang (yet?), so one still need the user-config.
