About the regression test mess, dynamic_bitset is not listed in the report, but has some "red" failures
A "red" failure indicates a regression from the last-known-good release, whether the toolset is marked as required or not, so it's perfectly normal to have these present on the library's page and absent from the Issues page.
on compilers which I don't think were tested before (which I've discovered by chance);
Which compilers, and why do you think they weren't tested before?
and cases where the same compiler passes or not depending on the test runner (e.g. VC7).
That happens, and when it does, it needs investigation.
Honestly, even if all this has an explanation, are such tests useful?
Well, what is your definition of "such tests"? -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
