Re: [boost] Stop on first error

Vladimir Prus:

So, how about we do what the rest of the world does, and stop build of C++ Boost on the first error?

It seems to me that this only works well if a typical bjam invocation is considered an all or nothing proposition. This is not true for running tests, when there are expected failures, and it may well not be true for building Boost on "non-release" platforms, where some libraries may fail to build. It obviously is true for projects where the final target depends on everything else, but Boost is not such a project.
