Cool. BTW, I noted that this changeset also includes a switch from using Boost Test to Peter Dimov's lightweight test library. Coincidentally I'm considering the very same switch for value_init_test: [value_init] Please replace Boost Test ("minimal.hpp") by lightweight_test, http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4246
I submitted #4246, because various compilers, including IBM V11.1, Sun 5.10, MINGW-4.3.3, and Borland 6.2.1 (Codegear, Embarcadero) no longer compile Boost Test. Is that also the reason why you switched to lightweight_test?
Boost.System (and Boost.Filesystem) are critical to both Boost's and my personal testing. Thus in these I don't like dependencies on anything that has a history of breaking. I also find it is a bit easier to debug with lightweight_test on platforms I'm not very familiar with. --Beman
