This report lists all regression test failures on release platforms.
Detailed report: http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/developer/is...
The following platforms have a large number of failures: borland-5.8.2 msvc-6.5
1668 failures in 12 libraries (49 are from non-broken platforms) algorithm/string (1) date_time (0 of 14 failures are from non-broken platforms) dynamic_bitset (0 of 1 failures are from non-broken platforms) graph (1) iostreams (1) multi_index (0 of 2 failures are from non-broken platforms) regex (36 of 38 failures are from non-broken platforms) serialization (0 of 1582 failures are from non-broken platforms) test (1 of 19 failures are from non-broken platforms) tr1 (4) type_traits (2) wave (3)
I can't help noticing that 1582 of 1668 regressions are in the serialization library. That's almost 95% of the regressions. And the next highest number of regressions is only 38. What is it that makes the serialization library so fragile? Joe Gottman
