Looking at program_options failures, it seems like two platforms are fully not working due to issues in Boost.Test.
First is MIPS: http://tinyurl.com/3c8avh
Second is Sun: http://tinyurl.com/2yjlpd
Can those issues be fixed in near future?
It's a bug in Sun C++. This bug exists in all version and current development branch. Compiler cannot select overloaded function and shows incorrect ambiguity error in the following test case:
template <typename T> void foo(T const & t) {}
template <typename T, unsigned N> void foo(T ( & t ) [N]) {}
int main() { foo("test"); }
If remove 'const' from the first function compiler works good.
Even if that's Sun C++ issue, it's unfortunate that Boost.Test is affected. Maybe, a workaround in Boost.Test is possible? - Volodya
