[test] Unrecognized option -u

Hi, I'm seeing test errors about unrecognized option -u presumably from Boost.Test, see here for example: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/output/teeks99-09b-... The test in question is not mine, and I don't know what the -u option is supposed to be for, but I assume it was supported by Boost.Test at some point and now it isn't. Is this an intended change in Boost.Test, an oversight or just a mistake in the Jamfile? If it was supported by Boost.Test, what did the option do and is it ok to just remove it?

Hi, Thanks for pointing that out!
I am not aware of any -u option. I believe this option was silently ignored for at least a decade. What boost.test added in 1.60 is a stricter CLA checking (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/change_lo...)
What bugs me there is that the failing test is using the deprecated test_execution_monitor (which is fine), which is not supposed to be using the new CLA (and this is not fine). As a quick workaround, you may remove the "-u" option. However, something that would help me debugging: is this error new to 1.62? Thanks, Raffi

Thanks. It looks like the test is passing without it, so I'll settle with that.

Frankly, I don't know. I only stumbled upon this because I ran Boost.Utility tests to verify my changes to string_view. Judging by git history, the command line option has been there from the start, since 2006. I probably ran the tests before, but it was long time ago (6+ months maybe) and I don't think I've seen this error before.

It's been there since at least 1.57, and probably even 1.55 but that's a long time ago and I don't have any logs around from those first testsuite run attempts of mine. Ciao Dani
