I'm aware of this bug. link-fail doesn't work with the msvc toolset, because there are two separate updating actions (msvc.link and msvc.manifest). FAIL_EXPECTED currently requires that /every/ updating action fails. No one was using it before, so put it at low priority.
That is very useful to know indeed, and explains the problem. Could a workaround for TypeIndex be to disable the generation of the manifest file? For unit test executables - especially ones expected to fail to link - we don't care, so is disabling that second step possible? Niall -- Currently unemployed and looking for work.
