Hi,
Those of you who use minmial.hpp have to add boost/test/minimal in requirements section of Jamfile. Those who are using included variant of the UTF should add boost/test/included.
To be exact, /boost/test//minimal and /boost/test//included
This is nessesary to enable async exceptions for msvc toolset. Otherwise some of the Boost.Test functionality may not work as expected, especially with msvc 8.0.
IIUC, you are proposing a breaking change.
I am not proposing any changes. This is how it was for a long while.
How many libraries are affected?
I don't really know. I just notices it in SmokeTest result page.
I had a discussion with Volodya yesterday and he says BB can't figure it out by itself and this is what he proposed.
I obviously would prefer BB to deduce it somehow automatically, since it analyze header dependencies anyway.
To clarify, by "it" Gennadiy means that he wanted that Boost.Build detect that a source file includes Boost.Test headers, and automatically adds certain compiler options. And this is not a feature that appears as common as to warrant a special support, IMO. - Volodya
