Boost.YAP is written against the C++14 and C++17 standards. It will use C++17 features if they are present, and otherwise is C++14 code.

Boost.YAP also uses Boost.Hana extensively, so only compilers that support Hana will be usable in building Boost.YAP.

Clang versions 3.8 and later (which corresponds to XCode versions 7.3 or later), and GCC versions 6 and later should work.

At the time of this writing, no version of MSVC's own C++ front-end (cl.exe) supports either set of requirements above, though the clang-cl and Clang/C2 compilers for Windows should work fine.
