Given an explicit representation of library dependencies we can, based on the directories containing changed files, quickly compute all the libraries whose tests need to be run and avoid evaluating the Jamfiles of other libraries.
Could we possibly use some dependency scanner, e.g. like in scons, that dynamically finds dependencies rather than requiring that they be explicit?
We already have one built into bjam. Explicit dependency notation has some advantages. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
