| <p> |
| The test suite for Boost.TR1 is relatively lightweight; tests have been added |
| to the Boost.Config test suite for each new configuration macro, and each TR1 |
| component has a very short concept check test added. The concept test programs |
| are designed only to verify that all the TR1 components that are supposed to |
| be in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tr1</span></code> are |
| indeed present and have standards conforming interfaces. There are a few test |
| programs (those which end in the suffix "_tricky") which do not currently |
| compile with the Boost.TR1 implementation, because the relevant Boost libraries |
| have not yet implemented the features tested; hopefully these incompatibilities |
| will be removed in future releases. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The concept tests do not take account of compiler defects (quite deliberately |
| so); the intent is that the tests can be used to verify conformance with the |
| standard, both for Boost code, and for third party implementations. Consequently |
| very many of these tests are known to fail with older compilers. This should |
| not be taken as evidence that these compilers can not be used at all with Boost.TR1, |
| simply that there are features missing that make those compilers non-conforming. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Full runtime tests for TR1 components are not in general part of this test |
| suite, however, it is hoped that the Boost.TR1 component authors will make |
| their regular test suites compile with the standards conforming headers as |
| well as the Boost-specific ones. This will allow these tests to be used against |
| the standard library's own TR1 implementation as well as the Boost one. |
