If the remaining problems don't get fixed in time then I guess the failures will just have to be documented, as I'm already (still) intending to do for the failing mingw.org compilers (see #128631). I don't think the C++ build trouble is a showstopper anyway. Most people probably don't use it other than as a means to check the build with different compiler options (it generally throws up more warnings and/or turns previously overlooked warnings into errors).Thread Previous | Thread Next
