I had a grep through the headers and couldn't find any instances of obfuscated header includes that might trigger a problem in the library, however in the test sources there are a lot that contain:
#include BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(BOOST_ARCHIVE_TEST)
BOOST_ARCHIVE_TEST gets defined as a macro in the Jamfile so that different archive forms (text, binary xml etc) all get tested.
So.... if there is a change in the library the *test* may not get rebuilt. Robert is that a fair characterisation of the problem?
I don't see any easy solution to this, unless a DEPENDS clause can be added at the same time as the "run" clause gets added to the tests (inside another rule that is). Rene would that be possible? Any chance you could look at the Jamfile and figure out how at least one of the DEPENDS clauses should look so the rest of us mortals could take it from there?
I'm not sure that's possible. And there is a much easier solution. The tests can be changed to have the needed #include references to all those headers. All it takes is adding this, to each point there is the above PP include: /* #include "text_archive.hpp" #include "text_warchive.hpp" #include "binary_archive.hpp" #include "xml_archive.hpp" #include "xml_warchive.hpp" */ Since it's commented out the tests themselves don't change behavior. And since bjam doesn't care about comments it will find them. If the extra typing is a bummer those, along with the PP include, could be placed in a separate archive_test.hpp which has: #include BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(BOOST_ARCHIVE_TEST) /* #include "text_archive.hpp" #include "text_warchive.hpp" #include "binary_archive.hpp" #include "xml_archive.hpp" #include "xml_warchive.hpp" */ And then change the PP includes to '#include "archive_test.hpp"'. Drawback is that a library change will cause every type of archive to be tested, but it would do that anyway even if bjam parsed the PP include :-) -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org
