.gitignore covers build/, where CMake puts its tree, but not bin/, where b2 puts its
own. b2 makes one per project that has targets, so after a b2 test run the working tree
carries untracked object trees in five places:

bin/
test/bin/
test/dynamic_loading/bin/
test/implicit_shared_libraries/custom_registry/bin/
test/implicit_shared_libraries/default_registry/bin/

Untracked but addable is the awkward part: git add test or git add -A sweeps them in,
and one such commit runs to tens of thousands of lines of .o files. Nothing warns, because
nothing is wrong until it is committed. I managed exactly that twice while preparing #107
400 files and ~63,000 insertions each time — caught both from the diffstat and rebuilt the
commits, but the trap is worth closing rather than remembering.

doc/node_modules, the equivalent for the Antora build, is already covered by
doc/.gitignore.

Verification

  • No tracked path in the repository contains a bin/ component (git ls-files | grep -E '(^|/)bin/' is empty), so the pattern hides nothing that is meant to be versioned.
  • Checked both ways in a worktree that had just run b2 test: with the pattern,
    git status --porcelain reports 0 untracked entries; without it, 5.

`.gitignore` covered `build/`, which is where CMake puts its tree, but not
`bin/`, which is where b2 puts its own. b2 makes one per project that has
targets, so after a `b2 test` run the working tree carries untracked object
trees at the root and under test/, test/dynamic_loading/ and each
test/implicit_shared_libraries/ variant.

Untracked but addable is the awkward part: `git add test` or `git add -A`
sweeps them in, and a single such commit runs to tens of thousands of lines of
`.o` files. Nothing warns, because nothing is wrong until it is committed.

`doc/node_modules`, the equivalent for the Antora build, is already covered by
doc/.gitignore.
