[cctbxbb] Boost broken on mac?

[richard.gildea at diamond.ac.uk]

After adding those 'fixes' in my previous email, the other failing test (dials/test/algorithms/refinement/tst_multi_experiment_refinement.py) now crashes in a different place, I have tracked this down thus far to the call to af::matrix_inversion_in_place(covinv.ref()); in https://github.com/dials/dials/blob/master/algorithms/refinement/outlier_detection/mahalanobis.h#L28

There does seem to be something really quite wrong with the latest clang :-(

> It turns out we need both the 'volatile' trick on line 19 and removing the -fno-honor-nans compiler flag in order to work around the problem at line 40. Neither workaround is sufficient on their own.

I had started to test removing/adding flags one by one too for cctbx/xray/convert.h. Just had a look at the outcomes: in that case, removing -fno-honor-nans is enough; the volatile hack can be removed. It makes no sense to me but that’s usually the case with optimiser bugs.

Well, anyway, we are walking on a tight rope with Xcode 7.3, and perhaps even onward since clang trunk brings the same havoc.
