Subject: [boost] [test] [Patch] Unconditional use of non-standard functions.
From: John Maddock (boost.regex_at_[hidden])
Date: 2010-05-25 07:29:23


Boost.Test has just started using ::fedisableexcept and ::feenableexcept
unconditionally - even though these are GLIBC specific extensions - which
presumably is why Boost.Test is currently failing so many tests :-(

I've just committed a patch to restrict the use of these functions to GLIBC
platforms that have the GNU extensions enabled: see
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/62194/trunk/boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp.
Please feel free to change the logic for any other platforms that may have
these functions.... but for now, hopefully we can get back to testing Boost
again!

Cheers, John.
