Hi all,
So I have been working at converting more of boost tests to cmake utilizing the BCM library, here:
https://github.com/boost-cmake/boost/tree/1.64
This is a build of Boost 1.64, with a majority of the tests integrated. There is still much more work needed to update the tests, as there are some that still fail. Also, some of the libraries were skipped due to missing headers in the 1.64 tag. You can check the library yourself by running cmake:
cd build mkdir build cmake .. cmake --build . --target check
This will build all the tests. You can check the tests for one target with:
Looking at the serialization library test because I'm familiar with it I see things like: serialization_archive_test(test_forward_list A) while in the CMakeLists.txt file I see [ test-bsl-run_files test_forward_list_ptrs : A : : [ requires cxx11_hdr_forward_list ] ] # BOOST_NO_CXX11_HDR_FORWARD_LIST In otherwords, the CMake version will run tests which cannot pass.
cmake --build . --target check-boost_core
Which will run the tests for just `boost_core`.
This was all generated using scripts in https://github.com/pfultz2/boost-cmake
Where is the document which describes how to uses these scripts?
I plan to update this to a newer version of boost. If anyone has fixes or changes they can send a PR or issue on either repos, and I will try to incorporate them in.
I think it's a waste of time trying to apply this to all of boost until one has demonstrated that the system actually works on test cases. That is what we're really going to review here is a library of CMake macros and these need to testable/demonstrably correct independent of any particular libraries. To put it another way: a) Develop and test the system If that passes and is accepted b) Apply to all the libraries desired.
Thanks, Paul
