Notes

1. convertion: porting issue - PCP64 and PPC64LE

   • lexical_cast_loopback_test: the issue is due the fact 'boost/lexical_cast.hpp' use 'long double' to receive the result of a pow(10.0, -324). While this works for Intel long double, where the working range is from 3.65×10−4951 to 1.18×104932; for IBM long double this result in a underflow. A way to correct it to change the way to calculate to use a multiprecision algorithm.

2. function_types: runtime issues - PPC64, PPC64LE, and x86_64

   • nonmember_ccs (# error ""test not supported with this compiler/platform"")
   • nonmember_ccs_exact (# error ""test not supported with this compiler/platform"")
   • member_css (#error ""test not supported with this compiler/platform"")
   • member_ccs_exact (#error ""test not supported with this compiler/platform"")"
   • Same behaviour on all platforms

3. locale: runtime issues - PPC64/PPC64LE.

   • test_boundary
   • test_formatting
   • Dependent to external libraries: ICU.

4. math: runtime issues - PPC64/PPC64LE

   • PPC64BE: 96 failures
   • PPC64LE: 99 failures
   • Mostly related to long double precision

5. ptr_container: Both build and runtime failures - PPC64LE, PPC64BE, and x86_64

   • tut1.test (build issue)
   • test_serialization (runtime issue)

6. scope_exit: Runtime erros "Error "lambda functions required"" - PPC64BE, PPC64LE, x86_64

   • world_checkpoint_all
   • world_checkpoint_all_seq
   • world_checkpoint_all_seq_nova

7. spirit: runtime failures - PPC64LE, PPC64BE, X86_64

   • x86_64 issues:

     • qi_match_manip1-p3: runtime failure (looping)
     • qi_terminal_ex-p3: build failure
     • qi_tst-p3: link time failure
     • qi_regression_stream_eof-p3: runtime failure
     • karma_alternative1-p3: runtime failure
     • karma_real1-p3: runtime failure
     • karma_real2-p3: runtime failure
     • karma_regression_container_variant_sequence-p3: build failure
     • lex_lexertl2-p3: runtime failure (segfault)

   • PPC64BE issues:

     • qi_match_manip1-p3: runtime failure (looping)

     • karma_alternative1-p3: runtime failure
     • karma_real1-p3: runtime failure
     • karma_real2-p3: runtime failure
     • karma_regression_container_variant_sequence-p3: build failure
     • lex_lexertl2-p3: runtime failure (segfault)
     • qi_binary-p3: runtime failure
     • qi_int1-p3: runtime failure
     • qi_regression_numeric_alternatives-p3: runtime failure
     • karma_binary1-p3: runtime failure
     • karma_binary2-p3: runtime failure
     • karma_binary3-p3: runtime failure

   • PPC64LE:

     • qi_int1-p3: runtime failure
     • qi_match_manip1-p3: runtime failure (looping)
     • qi_terminal_ex-p3: build failure
