[accumulators] regression tests and MingW/gcc-4.5.2

Attempting to run regression tests for accumulators from Boost trunk using MingW/gcc-4.5.2 leads to Vista popping up with messages that cc1plus.exe ( gcc's compiler ) has stopped working. Any ideas why this is happening. For other versions of MingW/gcc the accumulators regression tests work normally.

I have no idea what RW_Mingw45 is ? I am simply running the regression tests with 'bjam toolset=gcc-4.5.2'.
I mean to say that i've been running the trunk regression tests with the TDM build of MingW 4.5.2 for a while, and haven't seen that crash. You can see the accumulators results @ http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/accumulators.html, in the "RW_Mingw45" column.

What is the 'TDM' build supposed to mean ? I downloaded MingW/gcc-4.5.2 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/BaseSystem/GCC/Version4/gc... . In other words I followed the Download link off of the main MingW web page.

Alternative build provided at: http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/ Another version is available from Equation.com: http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=fortran Both provide classic 32-bit mingw and 64-bit mingw-64 Both have pros and cons, I currently use mingw-64 snapshot build directly from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ In other words: your mileage may vary.

Because mingw-w64 is a fork with active development tracking current-day GCC and with excellent support for 64-bit and 32-bit Windows. Official MinGW has historically been quite behind, and very sad for 64-bit compilation. As for TDM, it's as far as I understand it builds of mainline MinGW with support for some different debug symbol formats and used to be more ahead than vanilla MinGW w.r.t. GCC versions and tools. It doesn't make much sense to say "MinGW" without qualifying which particular variant you're using, as they're rather different in capabilities in some areas. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
