Re: [boost] Should regression summary consider both pass and warn as passing?

It should also be possible, if the regression engine outputs an XML table of 
information, to support all of these different versions via different XSLT 
code (simplified via a parameter to the stylesheet).

e.g.
<compiler name = "GNU C++" version = "3.2.2">
   <library name = "Interval Library">
      <results file = "..." type = "pass|warn|fail"/>
   </library>
</compiler>

It is then possible to get the XSLT code to generate statistics (number of 
tests, number passed, failed and generated warnings, percentages). It is 
also possible to do this for each compiler and compiler/library pair. It may 
also be possible to compare a library across different compilers.

This would have the benefit of being able to select how the results are 
displayed (possibly via a form, transforming the XML data on the server, 
then sending it back to the client).

SIDE NOTE: I have ASP code that uses the Microsoft XML parser to transform 
an XML document using a specified XSLT file, passing the remaining arguments 
sent to the ASP page to the stylesheet as parameters. Let me know if this is 
of interest, and I will post it.

If this is of interest, I could write the XSLT code to do it, as I have code 
that I can lift from some of my own stylesheets.

NOTE: This is just a suggestion.

Regards,
Reece
