note that between 1.35 and 1.36 there were a lot of changes related making the library thread safe. This sort of rippled through export and pretty much replaced ALL the hacky code required to get things instantiated and avoid code stripping on the wide variety of platforms. To the extent there is some of the hacky code left, its mostly concentrated in boost/serialization/singleton and a little bit in boost/serialization/export.

Given this, only a test of 1.36 or trunk would be of value to me.

Since I just checked in some changes to the trunk day before yesterday, the easiest would be to wait a week or so and test against the trunk. Or maybe even simpler, just add this combination to the normal trunk tests for at least one cycle. Now that I'm installed some changes, I'll be checking the trunk tests for the next week or so.

Replying to ramey:

As I said, I'll be happy to test either or both. Just let me know what you would like.

Now, why would I want to wait?

Or maybe even simpler, just add this combination to the normal trunk tests for at least one cycle. Now that I'm installed some changes, I'll be checking the trunk tests for the next week or so.

Sorry, which combination? You lost me.

Actually all that was needed was to backport r43949; patch attached. You might want to close #1711 when you decide how to dispose of this ticket.

When I look at the current tests, I see gcc 4.01 passing all tests for darwin (both ppc and intel builds). I also see gcc 4.2.1 passing all tests. Do you still think that application of this patch to the trunk is necessary?.

Yes, that's all because of r43949

No; that patch is the backport of r43949 to the 1.35 codebase. Was something unclear about that? I attached it in case Boost should ever do a 1.35.1 release or you would like to post a hotfix.

Again, I suggest looking at #1711 and seeing if you want to close it. In your place, I certainly would.
