Subject: [boost] Making lots of compile FAIL tests
From: Paul A. Bristow (pbristow_at_[hidden])

I've started to devise some tests to ensure that things that really should not compile, do in fact
compile-fail.

So far I've produced a few files with a single statement that should fail inside a int main(){}.

But it's looking at though it will get pretty tedious pretty soon :-(

(I see for example that Boost.Multiprecision has some 50-ish compile_fail items)

Is there some slicker way of doing this?
