There are several different classes of problems, that I can see. I forget which files suffer from which problems at the moment.
- a number of tests that excite the same or a similar compiler bug as basic_xml_grammar.ipp did, the compile never finishes, while the compiler leaks memory.
I worked these out in the filesystem lib, they were of the "compile never finishes", not the "run never finishes" variety. Hard to say if these two were compiler "bugs", per se, but they took forever to compile and the compiler took up >1G memory, not workable.
libs/filesystem/test/path_test.cpp libs/filesystem/test/operations_test.cpp
These two files each just needed to be split in half, that's all. Compiler vsize tops out at <600M. I also took one of the big if-blocks that was if (platform == "Windows") and made it #if defined ( BOOST_WINDOWS ), to hide more code from the compiler. Effect is the same. I've put the split files and Jamfile at http://svn.resophonic.com/pub/boost/libs/filesystem/test and the darwin-tools.jam file with the linker flags fix (for static linking the test lib) is at http://svn.resophonic.com/pub/boost/tools/build/v1 more on the other problems as they come available.... troy d. straszheim
