The current test results:
show just three failures which I'd like to fix other than by marking them expected. Those are options_description_test_dll, on msvc and intel7-vc6, and variable_map_test_dll, on intel7-vc6. They all fail at runtime with memory access violation.
Since I don't have vc6, I'd appreciate if someone could look at the failures in a debugger. This is probably some bug in vc6 library, so I hope a single fix will suffice.
Hi Volodya, I've reproduced the crash with options_description_test_dll and found the cause. The problem has to do with a bug in Dinkumware stdlib (as shipped with VC++ 6.0, so it also affetcs Intel 7.1) by which one cannot share std::sets across DLLs. This impacts the methods options_description::keys(), options_description::primary_keys() and options_description::approximations(). I've tried forcing the inlining of these member functions, to not avail. Dinkumware folks posted a patch for this problem that you can read about here: http://www.dinkumware.com/vc_fixes.html Replacing the internal header <xtree> with the one available at the page solves the problem, I've just checked this out. So, my suggestion is that you mark this test as expected failure in MSVC and Intel and add an explanatory note with this info so that the user can apply the Dinkumware patch, if she wishes to do so.
