A suggestion to improve the display of the typeof results page:
If you look at the boost iterator library, you will see the the 'corner cases' appear as a separate section.
Apparently this can be achieved by tweaking the explicit-failures.xml markup file:
This is done with the category attribute of the test entity in the XML document describing the expected failures. For example:
<test name="indirect_iter_member_types" category="Corner-case tests"/>
I believe this page might be more helpful if 'emulated' and 'native' mode were split into two categories.
I am happy to edit the XML file to make this work (I have commit rights) but I really need the library authors blessing before trying this!
This is a good idea, but I assume you are talking about 1.35 :) Then you can go ahead. Also, I believe the typeof testing needs to be generally reviewed. Right now all the "native" tests repeat emulation tests just with different flag. I don't think this has a lot of sense, since the emulation tests were designed to test registration. Regards, Arkadiy
