Re: [boost] warnings in tests

In Boost testing, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a script that scans the output generated from each successful test for the word "warning" and indicate its presence in the test matrix? Perhaps leave the box green but instead of "pass" have it say "pass/w" or something. Without this, platform-specific warnings can only be addressed after they're reported by the end users.

Perhaps. Though some warnings would never show, because the affecting switches are never used in boost testing. In practice, anyway, you need the compiler for most changes, be them warning suppressions or workarounds. And what you don't have you can't support. -- Genny
