Being able to cycle tests quickly on all three platforms really does speed multi-platform development. If we put Boost's collective mind to it, perhaps we can come up with a way to cycle tests much more quickly. I suspect we can find the machine resources,
OSL has two x86 Linux boxes we can spare (and should be usable in a week or so). I'm thinking one of them can be an interactive testing farm and perhaps the other can be set up for "continuous" testing, e.g., each time a CVS commit is performed [1], regression tests are re-run [2] and the results posted immediately (potentially coupled with a script that automatically complains to the committer, as I've mentioned before).
I notice that the Rudbek and Laru tests are running several times a day (thx guys). This makes it much faster to see VC results -- very helpful for someone like me that is gcc centric. Seems like by providing a smaller number of compilers they can cycle faster than some of the bigger testing farms. I'm hoping I'll get a chance to setup a Linux machine here that can run some 'release mode' gcc tests for the 1.33 release push. It will be a week or so before I get time to try it though... Jeff
