    14.1. Version 5.1.0

    +
    +

    This is mostly a bugfix release to account for issues impacting Boost Libraries. +There is one "big" change though. It can be rather difficult to find build +failures when running larger builds. To facilitate figuring out problems the +brief summary output at the end of a build is now less brief. It now includes +a sorted list of the targets that got skipped and failed. The output of those +lists mirrors the general skipped/failed items. Hence it’s possible to search +for the same strings in the rest of the output quickly.

    +

      New: Add listing of failed and skipped targets to end of build summary to +make it easier to find what fails. — René Ferdinand Rivera Morell

      • +
    • +

      New: Add mpi.run-flags to mpi toolset that allows for arbitrary flags +applied to running mpi targets. This allows, for example, adding +--oversubscribe flag to make it possible to run tests where the tasks are +more than the nodes available. — René Ferdinand Rivera Morell

      +
      • +
    • +

      Fix spurious errors when the header scanning tries to scan empty file names. — René Ferdinand Rivera Morell

      +
      • +
    • +

      Make C/C++/ObjC include directive scanning pattern more strict to avoid +trying to scan for empty file names. — Andrey Semashev

      +
      • +
    • +

      Fix mingw linker commands to always replace backslashes with forward slashes. — Christian Seiler

      +
      • +
    • +

      Fix QCC debug build flag. The QCC toolset was using an old, no longer +supported, debug symbols option. — John McFarlane
