Difference between BDG-Ubuntu & Debian-Sid?

[smr99]

Hi,

This message is addressed to the maintainer of "BGD-Ubuntu".  There's
no contact info listed, but hopefully that person reads this list.
It's probably useful to involve all linux developers on this list,
anyway.

I've been running the "Debian-Sid" test machine for a fair while now
and notice that my system generally has more failures than yours.
Given that Ubuntu is a variant of Debian, I find this strange and
would like to understand why this is the case.

To start with: is it a 32 bit or 64 bit system?  Are you using a
"stable" ubuntu or something more bleeding-edge, akin to "Debian/sid"?

Any ideas why things fail to compile on my system with GCC 4.4, but
do on yours; e.g. assign [1], dynamic_bitset [2], etc?


Thanks,
-Steve

It looks like the Debian-Sid tests are being run in c++0x mode, but the BDG-Ubuntu tests are in default (c++98?) mode.

There are generally more test failures in c++0x mode - if you look at the Trunk results you can see several versions of GCC being tested in both modes with the _0x versions having more failures.

That is true.

Yes, that could be the case.

That would explain a lot.

Thanks,
