Very helpful. Is there any chance you can upload the test results to the test matrix? Robert Ramey Simon Barner wrote:
Hello Boosters,
This disables the build of the wchar version of the serialization library on this platform. I simply couldn't get it to work, AFAIK libc is not ready for wide characters on this platform.

The serialization library consists of 2 libraries: serialization and wserialization. wserialization implements those facilities which depend on wide characters. The failure of wserialization to built for lack of wide character support does not inhibit the usage of the library where wide characters are not needed. It turns out that there are number of libraries/compiler combinations which fail to support wide characters or have some problem with them. In these cases the wserialization library will fail to build and the corresponding tests fail to run for lack of a library. So this change should be unnecessary. Furthermore , there are combination which might miight work - for example gcc 3.42(or 2.85) + STLPort so the Jamfile should be left to permit these to be run and tested. To summarize, the jamfile should be set up to permit an attempt to build both libraries. If wserialization fails to build, it indicates that that part of the library cannot be used. However, there's no reason the rest can' t be used and tested. Robert Ramey
