Right.  Still it's only 5 tests.  After tracking this down - which took a surprising amount of time given branches, etc - I considered my options and the easiest and most future looking was to just suppress these tests for compilations with C++ version

Conditioning a boost test on boost version < N is equivalent to just unconditionally suppressing it, no?

Isn't the goal to only suppress it when not compiling >= C++11? Shouldn't you just check __cplusplus >= 201103 for that?

Unfortunately __cplusplus is not totally reliable in a number of compiler implementations.
