When building 1.79.0 b2/bjam via running:
tools\build\bootstrap gcc
on Windows 10 with:
gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 11.2.0
Based on mingw-w64
from here:
https://nuwen.net/mingw.html
I receive:
Detected by Microsoft Defender Antivirus:
Behavior:Win32/Execution.A!ml
This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker.
E:\Boost\1_79_0>copy ..\b2* .
..\b2.exe
Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a
virus or potentially unwanted software.
0 file(s) copied.
This did not happen when building b2/bjam 1.78.0 with everything else
being the same.
I expect this is either a false positive or a new implementation detail.
Can someone familiar with the changes in 1.79.0 take a look please?
Here is one way such things can happen:
