That OP is unclear in the following respects:
1. What does it mean for msvc toolset to "specify /EHa
option"? Do you mean
that toolset does not provide a feature that translates to
/EHa. You
certainly can use <cxxflags>/EHa at the moment.
2. Why unit test framework has to be compiled with this
option, and what
problem will you get if it's not compiled with it.
3. Should that flag be added only for complication of unit
test framework, all
Boost.Test, or all programs that use the unit test
framework.
In fact, V2 Jamfile has the following line:
<toolset>msvc:<asynch-exceptions>on
which probably has something to do with /EHa, but without
further information,
or testing on your end, I can't really say if that's what
you want, or not.
