I'm getting a "stop the script" error when running the test for testfacet_dll (VC7.1) it pops up a requestor telling me the program terminated unexpectedly, and (unfortunately) waits for a human reply (which causes my scheduled run to stop after 4 hours (it starts at 0300 local)), so I'm not getting the rest of the tests run. I chased it down to a std:exception w/ what() == bad cast I'm refining where the error occurs. with the following patches to testfacet.cpp:

...patch snipped and test results... ================================================================================== the log appears to show that this test PASSED tho.....

..\bin\boost\libs\date_time\test\testfacet_dll.test\vc7.1\debug\testfacet_dll.run
1 file(s) copied. **passed**
..\bin\boost\libs\date_time\test\testfacet_dll.test\vc7.1\debug\testfacet_dll.test That's wierd... Just so you know, we are trying fix this problem. Basically something seems to go wrong when we imbue a stream with the dll version. The identical code works perfectly when linked statically. Of course it works fine in a shared library on Linux, mingw, etc. So it's odd that the dll version is flakey.... If we don't find a solution shortly, we will patch the test so it shows the failure and doesn't halt things... ==================================================================================
I'm working on getting some better "catch unknown exception" code put together so it can be added readily to tests to keep this from happening in the future.
Where would this 'code go', in the script that runs things or patched as part of the test code? If it's in the test code, I wouldn't spend time on it as this will be resolved soon... Jeff
