Both these failures occur on a seemingly innocuous BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL.
I found a note in test_tss.cpp (dated back to bill kempf) saying: // Dont't call BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL directly, as it doesn't appear to // be thread safe. Must evaluate further.
Any ideas?
Maybe this is of interest? Maybe someone could "evaluate further" ?
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL is definitely not thread safe. Nor are most of the BOOST_CHECK macros. I haven't tested all of them. The thread-lib tests, are careful to protect such usage with a mutex. In any case, the problems here are in just about every library, and most of the tests are not threaded. In particular, there are a lot of ICE failures in the tests of the test lib. This does not bode well for the testing the rest of boost on msvc-6.5~release. Anthony -- Anthony Williams Software Developer Just Software Solutions Ltd http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk
