FWIW, three interproces library tests hang on HP-UX/ia64: . barrier_test . condition_test . upgradable_mutex_test I did not have a chance to investigate it and, probably, won't have for a while. When I start regression tests, I also start a script which waits for these tests and kills them ('/usr/sbin/fuser -ku test_executable'). And no, I don't run tests for multiple toolsets.

Because I run the boost regression tests like this

So bjam is clearly building / running both named_recursive tests at the same time. Am I not permitted to run the boost regression tests for multiple toolsets in a single invocation?
Ummm. Both test might be writing to the same shared memory overwriting their contents. Can you try to run them separately? Otherwise I might need to create a unique shared memory name (I create a new name for each compiler name, but not for different versions of the same compiler).
Ion, you'll have to fix the names. We went through a fair amount of work to make it possible to run test in parallel. It's an important feature as it reduces testing time considerably, even if you only have 1 CPU. Note, it may not only be for different compiler versions. If you have different tests that can clobber each other, it's possible they will clobber each other when run on a single compiler test run is they tests run at the same time. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
