Re: [boost] [config] [regression] Regression test failures due to compiler bugs -- your advice needed

Hi Everyone, I need the advice from the experts, on what is the recommended way to handle the following situation with regression tests.

A number of tests of Boost.Optional fail. (see here: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/optional.html) These are the failures in optional (optional references), because quite a lot of compilers implement reference binding in a non-standard-conforming manner. (For details of these bugs see here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/optional/doc/html/boost_optional/... ).

Andrzej, are these regressions since last version(s) with compilers that worked, or are these related to new features that works on only some compilers? Best, Vicente
