I can't speak for you, but I nearly always find issues in the online testing matrix that are simply not exposed by local testing
I'm not disputing this. a) suggesting a method which improves one's local testing. b) suggesting changes in the online testing which would make it better. Finally, it's not the online testing itself which is valuable/necessary. Its testing on platforms/configurations other than one's own that is important. Whether this happens on some "official" tester's site or on someone else's local machine is not really relevant. (and for the
record I test locally with MSVC (various versions), GCC (various versions), Intel, clang, and Oracle). Perhaps if I had local access to hardware that wasn't Intel based that might change.... but then I'd be running my own testing matrix!
