Re: [Boost-users] Boost test and openmpi

A global fixture seems like a more appropriate solution than implementing main().

BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE

Indeed. Something like the following works just fine: struct MPIFixture { MPIFixture() { MPI_Init(NULL, NULL); } ~MPIFixture() { MPI_Finalize(); } }; BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE(MPIFixture); - Rhys
