For the sake of argument, suppose I wanted to attempt to reduce or eliminate warnings for the library I maintain. How would I go about doing this? I can see the warnings when I build the library on my own machine. But I can't see any warnings when I view the test results matrix. Even if it produces warnings, it shows green with no link to view the bjam output. Perhaps if the warnings were accessible, there might be more motivation to address them.
This is true. Though reverse argument may also be true -- no library developer ever asked for warnings to be shown.
OK - I'm asking.
I went back and checked the results table on my local machine. This table is generated by invoking ../../../tools/regression/src/library_test.sh (or bat) from BOOST_ROOT/libs/serialization/test directory. It shows links for warning output when when the test passes with a warning. I never really looked at these before. Now that I do it seems almost all are due to one particular header that has an easy fix. A couple of others - e.g. using hash rather than unordered emit warnings which are legitimate so I won't mess with them. Seems that I'm almost off the hook here. Robert Ramey
