HI Rob
I thought this rang a bell:
https://github.com/cctbx/cctbx_project/issues/70
This same kind of issue?
Cheers Graeme

Hi,
I may be digressing here but my understanding is that newer versions of boost no longer contain the boost/python/numeric.hpp file and therefore the scitbx/array_family/boost_python/numpy_bridge.hpp cannot compile with newer versions of boost.
I'm making very tiny steps compiling with the VS2017 compiler on Windows which I believe is required for C++11 compliance. So far the problem seems that older versions of boost do not like this compiler and scitbx (or rather numpy_bridge.hpp) do not like newer versions of boost.
I guess that if numpy_bridge.hpp was adapted to not #include that would solve the problem.

It was always the intention to support flex arrays in the absence

required dependency.
Good to know - some of this code seems a little crusty (and I've found a couple of bugs just trying to verify that it still works correctly).
Not sure about the wording in your second sentence. At the time
we developed flex, branching was not a code development mechanism
we used. Furthermore, not sure why you say Numpy is "exclusively"
used in the flex constructors? Certainly there are numerous flex
constructors that do not involve Numpy?
I meant a code branch e.g. "if", or a preprocessor "#ifdef" in this case.
I think I've gotten confused by some of the indirection in the class definitions - the top level only adds the numpy constructor, and then everything else is put in several levels down - and in some of my tests it looked like the numpy routine was mistakenly doing all of the construction (which ended in much the same results).
