[1.35, Boost.Test] error when using system in a test
The following (see below) test programm compiles under both 1.34.1 and
1.35.0; if linked against 1.35.0 it produces the following error message:
Running 1 test case...
A
unknown location(0): fatal error in "test_call_system": child has exited;
pid: 1000; uid: 16129; exit value: 0
*** 1 failure detected in test suite "Master Test Suite"
With 1.34.1, no errors are found:
Running 1 test case...
A
*** No errors detected
Test program:
#define BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN "test-bug"
#include

That's bug http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1723.
Yes, that's it! A single and simple system()-call. (I use these to setup/teardown my test environment; i.e. I create and remove a directory here, really. If there is a better way to do that: hints welcome!)
I did the same :-) Nevertheless Boost has a library for filesystem operations which should be platform independent ... Jens

I did the same :-) Nevertheless Boost has a library for filesystem operations which should be platform independent ... Yes, I know. With 'better way for it', however, I really meant: can/should the setup of test cases be done inside those tests or is there a (better) way, perhaps some class with setup/tearDown overloads or so...
Best regards Christoph

Boost.Test provides better alternative with use of test cases with fixtures. Gennadiy

Fixed. Now child process that returns exit code 0 is not reported as error. Gennadiy
