Aleksey: how do I get the compiler version information to show up as part of the toolset name in the regression results (e.g. gcc-3.3.4-sunos5 instead of just gcc)?
Add a toolset as boost-root/tools/build/v1/gcc-3_3_4-sunos5.jam with:
{ extends gcc ; }
Thanks. I was hoping this might be handled automatically somehow,
Hopefully when we switch over to Boost.Build v2.
so I don't need to patch my Boost tarball or change anything when I upgrade gcc versions.
We could provide a way to alias a toolset in 'regression.py', but as soon as you'd want to start testing with two or more different gcc versions you'd _have_ to have a differently named toolset anyway, so basically it's not worth it. Patching is easy, though: just put an executable script named 'patch_boost' that does what you want in the same directory with 'regression.py' and it would be automatically picked up and executed before the actual tests are started. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
