Please look at the latest 'develop' results for SunOS. The value of BOOST_COMP_CLANG = 0 and yet your check_value test shows CHECK_VALUE == 1. Also the msvc-14.0 tests under Windows shows the same problem.

I'm looking :-) Such a painful problem to track down :-(

FYI.. It's something wrong with the check C program itself, not the BB layer on top of it. And I can see msvc-14.0, sun-stlport, gcc- 4.9.2~c14, and gcc- 5.1~c14 showing the problem :-(

Could this have something to do with "cached" values ?

No. As I don't think any testers run incremental tests.

Anyway I thought this might give a little more of a clue in solving the predef-check problem since it has occurred locally in my testing.

I don't know if it did.. But I've now rewritten the check (and info) code (a handful of times in the past few weeks) and it should resolve the low level check problems (see < https://github.com/boostorg/predef/commit/0f113b0871832aafdffed45a5def8f4731...

).

Closer but not quite there. The predef-check is now working with Windows msvc-14.0 and with the SunOS tests but there is still a problem with Android. The problem occurs in the VMD tests but can be illustrated by predef tests also. Look at the "CrystaX.NET-apilevel-21-x86" predef tests, which have your latest June 29 commit you mention just above. If you look at the "clang-linux-3.6" tests you will see that the "info_as_cpp" test shows everything correctly but the "check_value" test shows "CHECK_VALUE == undefined" where it should be "CHECK_VALUE == 1". Similarly my corresponding VMD Android tests, which relies on predef-check to pass "-std=c++0x" for the gcc tests, are not doing so there. So there is still a problem with Android although Sun-OS and VC++14 tests are working fine now with predef-check. As always I appreciate your efforts to get this working, especially on OSs like SunOS and Android rather than the usual Windows, Linux, Macintosh triplet.
