Hi,

I'm looking for reference about run rule and the only thing I can find is this short reference:

http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/reference/rules.html

pointing to the Testing section which is currently blank:

http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/tutorial/testing.html

Would there be any chance to get this part updated?

I'm looking for details about the run rule arguments:

rule run ( sources + : args * : input-files * : requirements * : target-name ? : default-build * )

I'd appreciate if someone could explain what is the differences: sources vs input-files or args vs input-files.

* sources get compiled into the test executable * The names of input-files get passed to the test executable on the command-line and the tests will be considered outdated (and re-run) if one of them changes * args are other arguments to the test executable, that create no dependency relationship.

See the libs/python/test/Jamfile.v2 for some examples.

It helps. Thank you Dave! Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net Charter Member of OSGeo, http://osgeo.org Member of ACCU, http://accu.org
