There was an extensive discussion about this on the testing list a couple of months ago, when I started running release mode tests. Certain things break in release mode (compare your release mode results to the debug mode results --- there are lots more red boxes). The compromise we came to was that I would run release mode tests, but tag all the toolsets with ~release so they could be identified as such, and failures would not appear in the regression report emails.
Thanks for the summary Anthony. Roland I would like to keep this policy for 1.34.0, can you make the necessary changes.
Historically, release mode tests have not been run, so release mode failures are not necessarily "regressions" --- the same test might have failed in release mode with previous boost releases.
I think release mode testing will be included for coming releases it's just that it's too late for 1.34.0 Thomas -- Thomas Witt witt@acm.org
