Re: [PATCH] [RFC] Get rid of boost::context

 

Thanks for the patch.  I changed the commit message to link a bug report
against boost 1.63 which this patch resolves and pushed it to the master
branch.

Hopefully this will be the last of the libcontext issues but it seems to
me that we've had this conversation before. ;)
