Well.. in general, not that often, I suppose.

In our augmented version of your test framework, I've implemented fairly sophisticated logic to catch memory leaks on a per-test-case basis.

Would you be interrested t oshare it with us if it's generic enough?

I've been thinking about that. At the moment, it's not possible because much of the code depends on a proprietary heap management library. However I think it should be possible to abstract that out. Perhaps it would be useful if it could at least make use of Microsoft's debug CRT functions? I'll let you know if I get anywhere with generalizing the memory-leak finding code.

...

In the results accounting, I need to know whether a test failed because of a memory leak or because it failed a predicate check.

Come to think of it, perhaps this belongs more as an FAQ item for the documentation rather than a tool proper.

Ok.

I am such an impatient lad, I answered my own question:

#include

if ( boost::unit_test::results_collector.results( boost::unit_test::framework::current_test_case().p_id ).passed() ) { // do something useful. }

Is there a better way?

Looks right. I would define a alias for boost::unit_test.

How about providing a tool wrapper for this feature?

Why do you need this? How frequent do you think this would be requested?
