The failures of iterator_range and sub_range.cpp seem to be fixed trivially. Wrap string literals with as_literal. Am I right? Here is a patch. http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1302

This patch might fix this particular failure, but I don't think it should be applied, as it only masks the real problem. The failure comes from the fact, that range currently is not able to correctly handle char[] types. For example: str = "hello world" rr = make_iterator_range( str.begin(), str.begin() + 5 ); BOOST_CHECK( rr == "hello" ); This fails because rr (length 5) is compared to a char array (length 6), as the terminating null character is not correctly handled. In boost/range/detail/implementation_help.hpp there is code that should deal with this, but it is commented out: template< class T, std::size_t sz > inline const T* array_end( const T BOOST_RANGE_ARRAY_REF()[sz] ) { /* typedef BOOST_RANGE_DEDUCED_TYPENAME boost::mpl::if_c< is_same<char,T>::value || is_same<wchar_t,T>::value, char_or_wchar_t_array_tag, int >::type tag; return array_end<T,sz>( boost_range_array, tag() ); */ return boost_range_array + sz; } If I enable all the deactivated code in this file, all range tests pass for me on Tru64/CXX. Thorsten, is there a reason that prevents you from enabling the deactivated code? If you lack the time, do you want me the commit the modified header? (See attached patch.)
