Agreed. Are you going to update the list of toolsets in explicit-failures-markup.xml or should I do it?
I have a concern here that Borland BCB6 was being tested by Metacomm, but their test results have not been uploaded since the 'freeze results' call a few weeks ago. Likewise, no-one else has been able to pick up the strain for the same reason. This was supposed to be the last supported release for BCB6, just as with MSVC6, and I would hate to lose it at the last minute. I have been patiently waiting for the regression runs to sort themselves out before chasing up a set of BCB6 results - I will re-install a copy and run the test myself if necessary - but it seems I can no longer afford to wait. For reference, BCB6 and BCB2006 were very similar in fails at the last count, with BCB6 being the main soure of expect-fail markups. Once the current Spirit/serialization issues are sorted out I do not anticipate further problems. -- AlisdairM
