Boost Regression test failures Report time: 2006-07-15T08:23:49Z
This report lists all regression test failures on release platforms.
This report lists as "regressions" numerous failures on compilers we weren't testing before (e.g. sun-5.8), or on new tests. Like bogus warnings from a compiler, this is actually more harmful than helpful. It causes developers to ignore the reports and looks to everyone else like we have many more problems than we do.
I fully agree. On a (slightly) related note: would it be possible to group all regression reports by thread, as Rene has done with his inspect tool reports? That would help a lot having an immediate perception of any advancements (even from the mailing list archive). -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ] [ resume: available on request ]
