In trying to run release-build regression tests on the Serialization library, I found a Borland 5.6 crasher in the test library. It's surely a codegen bug, but it left me wondering why, if I have to link to the test library anyway, the library is putting retrieve_framework_parameter in an unnamed namespace, making me compile it into each **translation unit** of my test. This non-templated function, it seems to me, could be compiled into the test library. Among other things, would allow the test library author to handle the codegen bug once and for all (e.g. by specifying build requirements). -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
