I used Bruno's .travis.yml as a starting point to create a minimal Travis
configuration with a build matrix that covers several combination of
g++/clang++ versions and -std settings, and you can see the result here:
https://github.com/pdimov/mp11/blob/develop/.travis.yml
I omitted clang-3.5 as it conflicts with the other three, and clang-3.9 as
it doesn't seem to exist as a package.
For a C++03 library such as iostreams, you should probably include C++03
tests as well, and test the compiler versions installed by default, by
adding f.ex.
- os: linux
env: TOOLSET=gcc COMPILER=g++ CXXSTD=c++03
- os: linux
env: TOOLSET=clang COMPILER=clang++ CXXSTD=c++03
- os: osx
env: TOOLSET=clang COMPILER=clang++ CXXSTD=c++03
and you might also want to cut down on the C++14/C++1z tests, according to
taste. The Linux tests are quick and generally run in parallel, but the OS X
ones are slower.
You could also add g++ 4.7 and 4.8 if you feel like it (the default at the
moment is 4.6 if I'm not mistaken.)
