Research direction
Start in errors.hpp at validation_error and inspect how its destructor and special member functions interact with BOOST_DEFAULTED_FUNCTION. Then trace the copy construction in throw_exception.hpp and the call path in detail/value_semantic.hpp. Done means the reported deprecated-copy-with-dtor error is addressed without the caller needing diagnostic suppression.

Description
We had a number of program options , most uint*_t and one additional that is a vector<string> using mutlitoken ) that began erroring. This was working, but post updates to boost 1.88.0 (prior 1.75.0) + clang 19.1.7, it now produces an error. We have opted to throw some push/pops around this in our code right now to suppress the issue but would like to address it with a more appropriate fix. Included below is the warning for one of the numeric options. We did not investigate these as much as we did the arguments_map ( https://github.com/boostorg/program_options/issues/146 ), but would believe this one is better handled by adding default constructors (this might even be a case where BOOST_DEFAULTED_FUNCTION should be updated) as nothing jumps out as being a pointer where special handling may be required but would like those with more knowledge of the library to weigh in.
