It's in there now <
https://github.com/boostorg/predef/blob/develop/test/build.jam#L60>. And
will show up in the tables when testers get to it.

I don't run any tests personally under Android or QNX OSs, but I can't help

Looks correct (and you would have had bad obvious stuff happen if that
wasn't correct).

Yes. And it's almost identical to the test that I enabled in predef itself.

Yet on the Android regression test for this at

Yeah, saw that.. To say it's strange is an understatement :-(

I can ask the Android testers to manually add the '-std=c++0x' to the test

Under regular testing it would be possible to cd to the vmd/test dir and
manually run the tests with the added option. But I don't know if the
Android testers can do it as they use test help programs to do remote
execution and stuff. So you'd have to ask.
