I run all my tests with the --incremental flag, could this be causing what

It shouldn't do so, it would certainly be worrying if it did :-(

Do you still have libs/multiprecision/test/test_arithmetic.cpp in the repo?

No, I do not have libs/multiprecision/test/test_arithmetic.cpp. The directory is the same as svn revision on the web viewer: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/multiprecision/test/

Another potential issue, I'm bjam seems to be crashing part way through
each run. I've been meaning to do some digging into this, but haven't had
the opportunity. It crashes after msvc-11.0's pool test running valgrind
(this test fails, but I think it is whatever is *next* that is causing the
crash). Here's my whole bjam.log file if anyone is interested (8MB
compressed): http://boost.teeks99.com/temp/bjam.log.zip

OK, so it gets to valgrind_config_check and then bombs out - that's the last config check that's run, after that bjam should be dumping all of the:

boost-test(RUN) "accumulators/count" : "libs/accumulators/test/count.cpp"
boost-test(RUN) "accumulators/covariance" : "libs/accumulators/test/covariance.cpp"
boost-test(RUN) "accumulators/droppable" : "libs/accumulators/test/droppable.cpp"
boost-test(RUN) "accumulators/error_of" : "libs/accumulators/test/error_of.cpp"

stuff, so that's what's crashing.

If bjam is crashing like that, how do you get any results? Or is the test matrix just reporting the last successful run which didn't crash?

The only suggestion I have is to not run all the compilers in one big run, in case bjam is running out of memory and then crashing.

Thanks, John.

I've got a run going on another VM with just vc11 and that isn't giving the same crash. I also just ran a clean build (instead of --incremental) and it had the crash again, but I wanted to see if that would update the original problem with test_arithmetic_cpp, and I think it did. John- Can you verify this before I move on and try eliminating some of the compilers from the -1a run?
