|utility| none_test: borland-5.8.2
This appears to be releated to none.hpp changes, see http://tinyurl.com/yqta5d. What do we do about this?
This is the NEW test for "boost::none" that I added in the last commit (which btw passes all other platforms) The purpose of the test is to make sure that the expression "none" doesn't convert to an integral type. And this failure does not come from such a conversion. What happens is that "none" also refuses to convert to optional here (or so, the compiler output isn't in English so I had to guess from the code fragments in the message). However, the testsuite for Boost.Optional, for this compiler, passes the tests that involve "none", so is not that "none" 0doesn't work. I'm not sure why it fails in *this* (new) test (and I don't have the compiler to check for myself). I suspect that the problem is that the reciever function takes the argument by const reference, so it requires a temporary. But this is not strictly neccessary for testing purposes, so I'll change it. Best Fernando Cacciola
