Re: [Boost-users] [Boost.Test] Error: Non-aligned pointer being freed

The problem you are seeing is exactly the same I reported a while ago against Boost 1.37.0 (and it is still present in 1.39.0).

Please have a look at this thread:

http://www.nabble.com/-Boost.Test--valgrind-complains-about-invalid-reads-td...

I finally proposed to rewrite framework_impl::clear() and to make the test_unit destructor virtual. This solves the valgrind issue in my test program.

Thanks for the pointer. I looked at the code and thought the same thing when I saw the clean() method. I've changed the base class destructor to virtual and it took care of the issue. I've also reintroduced the static_constant template from 1.38 to prevent the 'defined but not used' warnings (see http://www.nabble.com/-test--gcc-4.2.1-unused-warnings-reappear-in-1.39-td24... ). Attached is a patch with all the changes I've applied to 1.39.

So let's hope the patch finds its way into Boost SVN. Regards, Peter.
