[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup] boost-users@lists.boost.org spake the secret code <518813FAAE539546847B8F61C0C9B2FA9AF9D831@SGPMBX06.APAC.bosch.com> thusly:

I would like to run this boost test case using the command line. Please note that the list contains data types that have 2 or more words. I need to know what to pass in the Command Line for -run_test=__________

If you run the test executable with --report_level=detailed you will see the names of all the suites and tests cases as the execution proceeeds. You can also use this to debug arguments to --run_test. With your code on Windows and boost 1.53 I get the following output from --report_level=detailed:

ConsoleApplication1.exe --report_level=detailed Running 2 test cases... d:/code/tmp/consoleapplication1/consoleapplication1/main.cpp(13): error in "my_test<__int64>": check sizeof(T) == (unsigned)4 failed [8 != 4] d:/code/tmp/consoleapplication1/consoleapplication1/main.cpp(13): error in "my_test<unsigned char>": check sizeof(T) == (unsigned)4 failed [1 != 4]

Test suite "example" failed with: 2 assertions out of 2 failed 2 test cases out of 2 failed Test case "my_test<__int64>" failed with: 1 assertion out of 1 failed Test case "my_test<unsigned char>" failed with: 1 assertion out of 1 failed Note that boost.test turned "long long" into "__int64", which may be why you had difficulty specifying the name of the test. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline The Computer Graphics Museum http://computergraphicsmuseum.org The Terminals Wiki http://terminals.classiccmp.org Legalize Adulthood!
