4779	real test expected failure should be marked as such	Jim Bell <jim@…>	Joel de Guzman	"The qi/real.cpp test failure is described as expected in source-code comments, and indeed fails on every platform. 
{{{
..\libs\spirit\test\qi\real.cpp(421): test 'test_attr(""123233.4124"", float_, f) && f == 123233.4140625f' failed in function 'int main()'
1 error detected.
}}}

This failure reduces the value of the other tests in qi/real that do pass, as the whole test is marked failed.

Further, this failure causes the entire spirit library to be marked as fail/yellow across every platform.

I suggest splitting the expected failure into a separate test and marking it as an expected failure (see the regression test legend at the bottom of the page). This would better reflect the state of both qi/real and the entire spirit library.

Also, shouldn't the local compare() function be used here instead of operator==()?
