I'd like to add "notabug" as a ticket resolution choice. The use would be for tickets that complain about something that is in fact true, but is by design rather than being a bug.
In the past, I've marked these as "invalid". But I dislike doing so because it sounds as if I'm saying there is something wrong with the ticket itself.
Comments?
Is not worksforme equivalent to notabug? Could you give an example of a ticket so we can see a concrete case?
Ticket #1962 complained that on Linux, <boost/timer.hpp> didn't measure wall clock time. That's because it uses std::clock(), which is allowed to measure something other than wall clock time. So it doesn't work for me, either. I ended up calling it "wontfix" because it is by design, and will be replaced by a much better timer library in the near future. --Beman
