I'm picking through the Win32 regression test results to see where we stand.
Here are some concerns I have (on a per-library basis):
Filesystem: operations_test is failing on Borland but not anything else, even
though most of the compilers use the same code as Borland.
Format: Total failure on CodeWarrior 8.3, Intel 7.0, and MSVC 6.0; we should
probably either support these libraries or add notes into
win32-notes-map.txt. (It looks like an Intel 7.0/MSVC 6.0 library bug;
potentially a name lookup bug in CW 8.3).
IO: Same failures as with format under Intel 7.0 and MSVC 6.0; standard
library bug?
Lambda: totally broken on Borland, MSVC 6.0, and Intel 7.0; I've marked these
as compiler bugs, because Lambda won't ever work on these compilers.
MPL: Untested (?)
Multi-array: Totally broken on Borland; I think we can work around this,
though.
numeric/interval: Broken on Borland (looks like a standard library bug);
Broken on MSVC 6.0 (looks like it thinks float/double are equivalent?)
numeric/ublas: Failures on CodeWarrior 8.3; I _think_ that the line it's
pointing out is missing a "typename" (there are other occurrences of the same
construct).
regex: Library build failure on CodeWarrior 8.3
spirit: Untested (?)
type_traits:
alignment_of_test/type_with_alignment_test on CodeWarrior 8.3: I can't make
heads or tails of this. We compute the alignment of a pointer-to-member
function one way and get 8; then compute it a different way and get 12. I
haven't a clue which is right, but this is _strange_.
remove_xxx: Borland fails most of these; is this a compiler limitation? MSVC
6.0 and 7.0 fail all of them (no partial specialization support), so I've
noted this in win32-notes-map.txt.
utility: enable_if_* tests fail on Borland, CW 8.3, MSVC 6.0, and MSVC 7.0;
I've noted that they're all due to compiler bugs.
In a perfect world, I'd love to see all of the tests either passing or noted
as a compiler/platform/standard library bug for a release. Not holding my
breath, of course :)
