How to test multiple versions of a library?
Currently the Boost.Threads regression tests only test the dynamically linked version of the library. On Win32, at least, there are fairly significant differences between the dynamically linked and statically linked versions (due to thread-specific-storage cleanup), so it would be good to run at least some of the tests for both versions. How do I do this? Mike

You need to create a second set of tests that link to the <lib> instead of the <dll>. Look at the program_options/test/Jamfile for an example. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com - 102708583/icq

I'd appreciate it much if such tests would not be run in two versions on systems for which there are no significant differences between static and dynamically linked versions (the existing tests need >17 hours time on my box (CPU bound). Doubling that is not desirable.) Regards, m
