Interestingly, the first two tests fail, while the last two pass.

BOOST_CHECK(L"A" == m_mmf.SetLngGetString(1033, 1));

BOOST_CHECK(m_mmf.SetLngGetString(1033, 1) == L"A" );

This actually perform pointers comparizons and almost never produce true.

I dont think you can actually be sure about this, since we can't know if SetLngGetString doesnt return a std::wstring or some other type that has implicit conversion from wchar_t. I believe more information is needed to know why the difference is occurring. Though it sure seems like a pointer comparision problem. [snipped]
