How to repeat:
1.git clone -b 8.0 https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server.git D:\MySQL\src

Hi, we are struggling to repeat this failure. When looking at the bug-description we wonder if there might be a problem with your BOOST installation?

I guess this is the same issues as https://github.com/boostorg/proto/issues/18 ?

Fixed in 8.0.19.

Boost compilation failed under Visual Studio due to a Boost
workaround for a VC++ 2013 bug that has since been fixed. The
workaround is now patched for Boost compilation with MySQL.
