I understand all that, but remember that this is written by volunteers, and that we have no real need for what you want to do - our aim is to test source code and catch regressions, not to test compilers as such. So I'm afraid you'll probably have to patch things yourself :(

How about gutting the contents of of the compile-fail rule in tools/build/src/tools/testing.jam?

Thanks for the suggestion. This is very useful to remove the 'noise' generated by the expected-to-fail tests while looking for real compiler issues. Aparna
