I'm reading this article (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-ctools1_boost/?S_TACT=105AGY20&S_CMP=HP) on the Boost Unit Testing Framework. However I'm having a bit of trouble with the first example, my guess is that they left something out (something that would be obvious to hardcore C++ coders) as IBM often does in their articles. Another possibility is that my Visual Studio 2005 C++ compiler is just too old for the example. #define _MYSTRING #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE stringtest #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include "stdafx.h" //#include "mystring.h" BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE (stringtest) // name of the test suite is stringtest BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE (test1) { /* mystring s; BOOST_CHECK(s.size() == 0); */ BOOST_CHECK(0 == 0); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test2) { /* mystring s; s.setbuffer("hello world"); BOOST_REQUIRE_EQUAL('h', s[0]); // basic test */ BOOST_CHECK(0 == 0); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END( ) To me the BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE and BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE lines look a little suspect (especially since they don't have quotes around the arguments, and they are undeclared identifiers...but this probably means they are macros and I'm not certain I understand the concept or if that is available in VC++ 8.0)... Is there any reason why this code won't work? Bellow are the errors I'm receiving: 1>c:\users\andy\documents\visual studio 2005\projects\unittesttests\unittesttests\unittesttests.cpp(7) : error C2065: 'stringtest' : undeclared identifier 1>c:\users\andy\documents\visual studio 2005\projects\unittesttests\unittesttests\unittesttests.cpp(9) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed.
