Subject: Re: RFC: stdcxx 4.2 platforms
I would find Cygwin test results helpful. It would also be
helpful do semi-regular builds of some popular C++ software
with stdcxx (like boost) and post the results.
I agree that building Boost (and perhaps other popular
packages as well) would be a useful enhancement to the stdcxx
test suite.
The problem is first of all porting Boost to stdcxx (i.e.,
getting the infrastructure to work), and then also the cycles
involved in running the Boost test suite and analyzing the
test results. I suppose if someone were to volunteer to do
the first pass (i.e., get the Boost infrastructure ported and
help analyze the first set of results) we could then add it
to our automated test infrastructure and run it perhaps not
every night but maybe weekly or monthly and handle the
maintenance of the project.
I would like to do that, if there is no objection.
That would be great! If you need help ask on of the Boost
mailing lists:
http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm
The Boost maintainers might be interested in integrating
the results of your work into their build infrastructure
to make it easier for users to build their software with
stdcxx.
I'm CC'ing stdcxx-user in case someone on that list who
isn't subscribed to stdcxx-dev has any suggestions or
comments on the subject.
