I've always thought that a design that gets information by processing stdout from bjam would be fragile. Furthermore, it means we can't use the -j option with bjam, which, even on uniprocessors, can speed up builds considerably. The build system itself should be writing the XML.
Exactly. Is BoostBuild v2. going to give us that?
Depends what you mean by "going". It's not a planned feature yet. And I think it's better to try to make V2 the official build system before adding any more features to it. After that, something should be possible.
It can hardly become "the official build system" until we can use it to run regression tests. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
