Description

Dear Mantainers,

boost.python is currently broken on msvc 14 update 3.

[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38261530/unresolved-external-symbols-since-visual-studio-2015-update-3-boost-python-link](url)

I wanted to know if any workaround was being implemented within new versions of boost to avoid that problem.

Research direction

No repository file or test is named; start by reading the linked Stack Overflow report and reproducing the Boost.Python compilation and linking failure with MSVC 14 Update 3. Trace the affected build or linking entry points, and consider the issue done only when Boost.Python builds and links successfully on that toolchain.
