For instance, a reporting entry point that says "this is an exceptional condition and not the detection of a software bug".
Condition of what then?
I think that _both_ BOOST_FAIL (or BOOST_REQUIRE) and BOOST_ERROR (or BOOST_CHECK) do indicate that there is a software under test failure (bug
They can indicate whatever you want it to indicate. If you require some particular condition before proceeding with test you check for it using BOOST_REQUIRE on top of the test case. You can also use fixtures.
properly detected by testware). I'd like to hear I'm wrong or that there is another way to signal a testware failure.
I suppose that I can use fixture support to attempt to notice any exceptional problems during setup so that I don't even get to the test execution code when there is an exceptional condition or environment problem. However, I'd like to try to wrap my head around the capabilities of the system and understand them as best as I can before proceeding.
Please let me know if understood your problem. Gennadiy
