Hi,
Has all the Boost.Threads problems been solved yet? I am still having link problems with Threads on intel-win32-7.1 -vc6 (w/ or w/out stlport- 4.5.3):
Any clues?
I believe I remember that auto-link should be turned off for regression tests by defining BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB (as it is for Boost.Threads, apparently), though I don't remember why it should be or where the library name comes from in that case. Anyone?
Yes you remember correctly. The reasons are rather simple: if one directly refers to another library in the test, with <dll>* or <lib>*, then the library is linked to directly and hence there is no need for auto-linking. And auto-linking in that case would be redundant, and may even cause errors and warnings from the linker. But the reason one *must* refer to other libraries directly for tests is that auto-linking is not available on all platforms. Hence since they are mutually exclusive and tests need to be cross-platform auto-linking needs to be disabled for regression testing.
For the Spirit tests there are two ways to add the correct define:
[...]
The first one has the benefit that the extra define is *only* added when the thread library is used.
Thanks! I applied the first simpler patch. I hope to see everything green tomorrow. Fingers crossed... Cheers, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
