Hello all,

Expected regression test failures are marked with "fail*" and give an explanation for why the failure is expected: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/output/Sandia-intel-1...

How do I add an explanation for a new expected failure? Is there some documentation on this process?

You need to add the details to 'status/explicit-failures-markup.xml'. I don't know if it's documented anywhere, but hopefully you can copy the format from other libraries. You can use an asterisk at the end of toolset names to match different variants - but it only works at the end. There are instructions at the beginning of the file for validating your changes.
