[...] There is only one thing I can't explain why I had not to add library (e.g. libboost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt-1_34.lib) to link with. VC++ did not complain about missing libraries or unresolved symbols. OK, magic :-)

This is an autolinking in use. Get the latest docs from cvs and read compilation instruction for UTF. There is section there covering it now.

Autolinking - yes, I suppose something like thig but I was not able to explain it for myself. I have read docs on the website and they seem out of date. So, now I'm going to read the updated version from CVS.

...

Then, I tried to run rest of examples, unit_test_example_02.cpp and unit_test_example_03.cpp, as explained above. And here comes my problems I noticed with unit_test_example_02 and unit_test_example_03. When I try to run compiled example from unit_test_example_02.cpp I get memory leaks detected:

[...] // problem decription skipped.

I couldn't explain what you are expiriencing. Just one suggestion: make sure you link with proper library. Autolinking inforce proper name. Try to disable it (define BOOST_TEST_NO_LIB) and name library explicetly.

I'll check it today.

...

Also, I tried to debug UTF example 02 and 03 when they dumped memory leaks and I revealed that there are exceptions thrown in lines supposed to be catched by Boost Test Framework:

Boost.Test detects that you are running under debugger and don't try to catch level system errors, so that you could see message from debugger and analize stack.

Yes, but first I tried to run example 02 and 03 not under debugger, just executing exe files. When I started to get memory leaks dump then I decided to debug it - as I read in list archives this recommendation.

...

Huh! That's the end of my long story :) I'd be very thankful for any help how to solve this problem, especially with "original" UTF library created by bjam. How to make it working?

I will try it myself tommorow.

Thank you very much. Siply, the problem is that UTF library build by bjam behaves differently from the one build with VC++ project file. I'll also test it without autolinking.

...

Please, be placable as I'm a Boost.Test newbie. I searched through Boost.Test docs and lists archives but I still can not solve my problem.

Don't rely on docs yet. I am working on an update.

Now I know that ;-) Cheers -- Mateusz Łoskot http://mateusz.loskot.net
