Could spirit library developers take a look at this and give us an idea of what we should do about this? Is anyone working on this? Should we just roll back and try again before the next release?
Ramey, I haven't really had a chance to look into this -too- much. However, I have compiled Serialization multiple times on the major development toolchains (Intel 11 on windows and linux; mingw 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 on windows; VS 10 and VS 7.1 on windows; gcc 4.5, 4.4, 4.3, 4.2 and 4.1 on linux; clang 2.9 on linux). I have no problems on any of these compilers anymore; to my knowledge, nobody else is having issues, either (I spent a good amount of last week working on that).
FYI, on my machine, I have trouble building with msvc7.1 and I see the test matrix has the same problem.
The only outstanding issue is the test matrix. Yes, admittedly, the grammar stuff is a bit on the slow side compile-time wise. However, I cannot reproduce these 300 second timeouts that the build machines have been reporting. I haven't had a chance to talk to the people running the relevant machines, but I am having a hard time buying that those machines are taking more than five minutes to instantiate my Spirit grammar.
Let's take a look at the results from Intel's compiler.

I understand that not everyone is on the same page here. I'm hoping that this can be reconciled soon. I notice that the almost all the spirit tests pass on these compilers - and I don't think the serialization grammar is one of the simplest ones around. How can wave be compiling and the serialization grammar not be? I'm hoping that someone from the spirit group might take a look at this.
There is also the VACPP compiler - AIX IBM which also has to be addressed. I know that those on the IBM compiler team have invested a sincere effort to make sure that their compiler passes the boost tests in general and the serialization library in particular. I feel we cannot let them down.
Basically, my view is that we cannot ship something that doesn't work at least as well as the previous version.
I agree. I think it's better to let it mature first. I am not testing on VC7.1 anymore, but there were some discussions a while back that this has been addressed. At any rate, I don't think it (the port) is ready for prime time yet.
Regards,
Agreed. I'll put some more work into this week. Hopefully it will be ready for next release (which will be, what, the main 1.45 release?). - -- Bryce Lelbach aka wash http://groups.google.com/group/ariel_devel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkzHzrYACgkQO/fqqIuE2t4u1ACglDa53IdbXuL5AZut4n5lvShh qfYAoJiJN/dQC3jyaNEmc5nJ82+EqCFM =iDd7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
