We don't seem to be running any tests on Comeau C++, why? Not using the "reference compiler" for our testing doesn't make much sense.
I can run, and in fact I was running regression tests on como 4.3.3 some time before release 1.32 . There are however some issues with it: 1 como in "strict" mode does not support platform specific headers (at least on Windows, and this is my testing environment) 2 como does not support dynamic libraries at all; this is going to be improved with next version (hopefully to be released soon) 3 libcomo (Comeau implementation of the C++ standard library) is far from perfect, but is improving 4 como, at least with my backend (MSVC) has worst compilation times ever seen; in fact, running regression tests with como was real PITA 5 there does not seem to be big interest on developers side to take como results into account (but that's my totaly subjective feeling - I know that there are developers who care about como results, and Greg Comeau seemed to be also interested in good compatiblity with boost) I can run como again (as soon as I have my test machine running - it's still not setup), but I do not want to waste great amount of CPU cycles and disk space if its not used, and there seems to be open question about C++ conformance mode (strict vs. released) that should be used in tests.
