Would it be viable to modify the build system such that test binaries which ran successfully get stripped after they ran? Having the then unneeded debug symbols removed would help a lot.
I just modified it so that by default, they're deleted after they run successfully. This only deletes top-level targets (executables most of the time, shared objects for Python tests), so object files sit around sucking up disk space. You can turn this behavior off by adding --preserve-test-targets to the bjam command-line.
Great! Thank you very much! This reduces the space requirements for testing by 13 GB on my box.
I did this after running out of disk myself ;-)
That motivates ;-) Regards, m
