Boost Regression test failures Report time: 2006-07-15T08:23:49Z

This report lists all regression test failures on release platforms.

This report lists as "regressions" numerous failures on compilers we weren't testing before (e.g. sun-5.8), or on new tests. Like bogus warnings from a compiler, this is actually more harmful than helpful. It causes developers to ignore the reports and looks to everyone else like we have many more problems than we do. How can we get it to actually report regressions? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
