[Boost-users] boost::test: expected error leads to failure - why?

Hi! When using the boost::test unit-test framework calls like boost::unit_test::test_suite* test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "Testing Something" ); test->add(BOOST_TEST_CASE(&test_function_with_expected_error), 1); lead to an error in return code when used together with VC7 as a post-build step Of course I could use runtime argument "--result_code=no", but then how can I make a difference between expected and unexpected errors? It makes sense to me to have expected errors in a testsuite, and especially to declare a test failure when an expected error does not appear. Could you please explain how boost::test supports this without having to write "failure-tests" myself? Markus
