Also, note that the code for that tool is now at < https://github.com/boostorg/regression/tree/develop/library_status>. And IIRC it's updated to build if you clone/get the regression repo. But I never tried using the resulting executable. And process_jam_log is at < https://github.com/boostorg/regression/tree/develop/testing>.
Obviously something equivalent to this is necessary for every library
author. What do other library authors use? What do you recommend for testing on one's own machine?
Like Steven I just use b2 directly and read the output. But then I have a very simple library to deal with. So I'm not a good example.
In my source tree there was a folder icon named regression and I just clicked it and the folder appeared in the right place in my modular-boost tree. Which I suppose is OK - except that there's another corner of git that I have to figure out how to use - this is a burden to me.
When I first saw this I presumed that the boost test python scripts had been enhanced to provide this sort of facility in one's local environment. Now I'm poking around to see how all this works. There is a directory with 15K lines of *.py code it !!!
Note.. I've been cleaning up the regression tree to reduce that sort of thing. But of course things take a long time to accomplish as I can't interrupt testing and the release process. Anyway.. I do want to make your job as easy as possible in this regard so I do plan to make the library_status table generation easy to use. But.. I was planning on working on this a bit this weekend and it's not going to happen. My dev machine is having problems and looks like it's close to imminent death. So I'm doing backups, ordering a new machine, and then setting up that new machine from the backups. So It's going to be a much longer time before I get to this again :-( -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
