Interesting that that test is failing (on Windows) for mingw-gcc 4.4.5, but passing for mingw-gcc 4.4.3 and mingw-gcc 4.5.1 -- Marshall

That might be because the mingw-gcc 4.4.5 tester has a config issue. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4821 Daniel

He closed it because it looked like the issue was with the tester's configuration, not with Boost.Config. Looking at the latest test results it seems to have been fixed (at least the failures in my libraries have been), so if the relevant test is still failing it's probably something else. Daniel

Ah. We do NOT have a repro of this bug on the release branch. I can't justify holding 1.45 for this unless someone can confirm the problem happens on release. This bug is no longer a showstopper. Jim, if you can verify that the problem happens on the release branch with this platform/compiler combination, feel free to change the severity back. -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
