3. Compile time may become very large for large test programs or heavy template usage. E.g. in one case, we had to split a test into three (Spirit's switch_p tests) in order to make testing feasible.
It is hard to know the overall effect without accurate timings. My personal belief is that on average the total time will drop. But we need timings to know for sure.
I still can't understand why we're focused on reducing testing time. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
