Re: [Boost-users] [test] manual test suite initialization: linking problems

Matthias Vallentin writes:

I found an old thread [1] from 2007where it is advised to use the following combination if one wants to use dynamic linking and manual registration:

If you insist on combination of manual registration with shared library, it should look like this:

int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) { return ::boost::unit_test::unit_test_main( &init_unit_test, argc, argv ); }

Is this still the way to do it?

Yes.

I tried to apply the technique as follows:

#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK #define BOOST_TEST_ALTERNATIVE_INIT_API

Second macro should not be necessary. BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK already causes BOOST_TEST_ALTERNATIVE_INIT_API to be defined.

That, however, gives me the following run-time error:

Running Test setup error: signal: SIGABRT ( application abort requested)

Can you see where it's aborting? Gennadiy
