In 1.33.1 release, is the following true?

BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE( suite_name, F ); //not supported BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE( test_name, F ); //not supported

Thanks,

Ed BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE wouldn't compile.

It's later addition

BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE compiled and worked fine at first glance.

Ok.

...

However, I made a BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE into a friend function of my testee class, and got a compiler error.

BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE is a macro. I am not sure what you are trying to do by declaring it a friend?

I want to be able to test private members of my classes while using the Auto Test framework. I won't test private data that often, so it's not that big a deal to use the BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE for those occasions. We discussed it in this thread: [Unit-Test] How to test private functions

...

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE works fine as a friend function of a testee.

The same here.
