regresion tests - library name

Hi, Where does the name of the library in the regression test table come from? string_algo library is reported as "algorithm", yet it is not the name used in Jamfiles. I assume, that the name comes from the directory name. This is not the best solution, because there can be more libraries residing in one subdirectory. (Although string_algo is probably just the first example). Isn't is possible to extract the name from the test-suite specified in Jamfile? This would make more sense. Regards, Pavol

There are already several other examples. See the "numeric/interval" and "numeric/ublas" libraries in the regression tests, for example. Just copy the file boost-root/libs/numeric/sublibs to boost-root/libs/algorithm and it will work automatically. --Beman
