Hi, Recently I observed lots of test cases showing as failed in regression tests on branch 'develop' in Boost.Optional: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/optional.html

When I try to inspect the results they are either empty or refer to the places in the code that do not exist anymore in branch 'develop', as

with the testing framework. Anyone can help me with figuring out what to do?

Which tests do you mean?

This one, for instance: http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/output/teeks99-03e-> Ubuntu12-04-64-boost-bin-v2-libs-optional-test-optional_test_value_access-te st-gcc-4-8-debug.html

The error message quotes a piece of implementation:

value_or ( U const& v ) const { return this->is_initialized() ? get() : (v); }

But there exists no such code in the current implementation in branch 'develop'. I am using no ternary operators (I used to in the previous commits). The test's date is that of today. My last commit was on Friday.

Yes, looks like a problem. Maybe the checkout failed at some point for the tester, and Boost.Optional submodule was left in outdated state. I sometimes get timeouts from GitHub when I update Boost tree, I think in such cases the tree is left in some semi-updated state; I didn't check though. If the update scripts ignore such errors then that's what may have happened.
