I would like to make some changes in the ../tools/regression
directory if no
one has any objection.
Here they are:
There are several files:
index.htm contains a page which describes
instructions for installing and running the python based
tools used by
the "official" boost testers for testing ALL of
boost.
links to process_jam_log.cpp, compiler_status.cpp and
Jamfile.v2 for
building a separate set of regression testing tools.
index.shtml which forwards one to the "official"
boost test results page
which gathers all the results from all the testers.
Is not clear to me under what conditions one or othe other
of these index
files are selected.
run_tests.sh - a shell script for runnig tests on all of
boost on one's
local machine. This script uses the process_jam_log and
compiler_status.cpp
programs. I'm not sure if this is still being used, but I
have noticed that
the compiler_status and process_jam_log programs have been
kept up to date
so it would seem that someone is using them.
There is a build directory which contains Jamfiles to build
the executables
and a vcide subdirectory for which invokes bjam to build the
executables.
It turns out this last is handy for stepping though the code
with the VC
debugger.
I want to make a few changes here:
a) elminiate the index.shtml file. The global official test
results are
available thourgh the main boost.org web page.
b) add a to the bulleted list two more entries
i) library_status.cpp - this is program which is derived
from
compiler_status.cpp. Its function is to display ALL the
test results (all
variants, shared/non-shared, etc) which have been tested for
ONE library. I
use this on my own system to build a large table which
compares the test
results for all compilers and variants etc.
ii) add a run_library_test.sh to invoke the above for a
specific library.
c) I also want to improve the vcide solution to include all
of these
executables.
Does anyone have any objection to my doing this?
