I poked around in the BuildLog.htm files (for VS2005) and build.make files (NMake) and convinced myself that CMake builds that use the NMake generator are specifying /RTC1, while VS 2005 builds are not.
Hmm.... are you building the Debug or the Release variant in VS 2005? Perhaps this flag is only provided with debug (which is probably the default for NMake Makefiles)?
It's slightly weirder than that. The test binaries are built in debug mode by default when using the NMake generator, and the '/RTC1' flag is definitely being passed to the compiler. When using the VS 2005 generator, if I select Debug mode in the IDE and build the placement_new test, it runs fine, and the build log shows that '/RTC1' is *not* being passed to the compiler. So the situation is: in Debug mode, different compiler flags wind up being specified depending on which generator I choose---even though the underlying compiler is the same. It's a little bit surprising. I noticed there's a symbol in CMakeCache.txt called 'DEBUG_COMPILE_FLAGS' that's defined to: '/D_DEBUG /Zi /Ob0 /Od /RTC1'. If I remove '/RTC1' from the end, then placement_new builds and runs fine with NMake. But I'm not sure it's a good idea to monkey with that setting(?)
IIRC, CTest has an internal timer and will kill a test after some number of seconds.That number appears to be 1500. `:-} I re-checked this and discovered that the test does eventually time out after 25 minutes.
Ah, good. It looks like this can be set via the CTEST_TEST_TIMEOUT variable. So, on could use -DCTEST_TEST_TIMEOUT=300 when configuring CMake to reduce the timeout time to 5 minutes.
Thanks for that tip---it'll definitely come in handy... _______________________________________________ Boost-cmake mailing list Boost-cmake@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-cmake
