That is news for me.
Which part? test_execution monitor deprecation was announced quite loudly (was it year ago?) prg_execution_monitor has nothing to do with testing, whic hvery clear from the documentation.
The point here that both libs are built by ./b2 --with-test. And considering what you said above it would be nice if they were considered a separate lib for purposes of --with-whatever..
I know nothing about b2 or with-test, but whomever is responsible feel free to stop building these (especially test execution monitor).
That is easy, see the attached patch. Okay to commit?
No. I do need Jamfile to build prg_exec_monitor and test_exec_monitor was never properly cleaned up from other QLib libs. I would do it myself (it is very strait-forward exercise to replace its usage with unit test framework), but I never seem to have time to do this. That said, unit test framework does not require either one of them and I do not agree with claims stating otherwise. b2 and with-test argument is out of my control and frankly I do not know where and why one uses it.
Should this be forced into 1.52 ? This is only possible if those two are officially deprecated. Else we have to add deprecation for now.
test_execution_monitor IS officially deprecated. prg_exec_monitor is not, but it have nothing to do with testing.
