Every library is tested against particular set of dependencies selected by developer. But only *one* per lib. It does require additional disk space for source tree copy. I don't believe it major requirement these days.
I thought that too, but you are wrong. One of the most common failures with regression testers is that they run out of hard drive space, because testing Boost... just a single tree... requires tens of gigabytes.
Umm.. so what? My 3 year old desktop got 300 gig. Server sytems should have an access to even larger resources.
All the arguments in the world don't change reality. We have testers for whom the disk usage of our tests has posed a real problem. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
