Gennadiy, I tried changing what you stated

...

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test ) { std::list<int>& list1 = user_defined_func(); BOOST_CHECK_PREDICATE( validate_list, list1 );

I believe this should be BOOST_CHECK_PREDICATE( validate_list, (list1) );

However upon doing that I get another error (something to do with templates) 1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: UnitTestTests, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Deleting intermediate and output files for project 'UnitTestTests', configuration 'Debug|Win32' 1>Compiling... 1>stdafx.cpp 1>Compiling... 1>UnitTestTests.cpp 1>c:\program files (x86)\boost\boost_1_40\boost\test\impl\execution_monitor.ipp(904) : warning C4535: calling _set_se_translator() requires /EHa 1>c:\program files (x86)\boost\boost_1_40\boost\test\utils\runtime\config.hpp(90) : warning C4996: 'putenv': The POSIX name for this item is deprecated.

Please post small example illustrating the problem.

Okay here's the new source, thanks Gennadiy for your time on this. #include "stdafx.h" #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE example #include std::list<int>* user_defined_func( ) { std::cout << "BEGIN: user_defined_func" << std::endl; std::list<int>* l = new std::list<int>; l->push_back(8); l->push_back(2); std::cout << "END: user_defined_func" << std::endl; return l; } bool validate_list(std::list<int>* L1) { std::cout << "BEGIN: validate_list" << std::endl; std::list<int>::iterator it1 = L1->begin(); for(; it1 != L1->end(); ++it1) { std::cout << "*it1: " << *it1 << std::endl; if(*it1 <= 1){ std::cout << "Validation failed because an item in the list was less than or equal to 1." << std::endl; std::cout << "END: validate_list" << std::endl; return false; } } std::cout << "Test passed because all of the items in the list were greater than or equal to 1" << std::endl; std::cout << "END: validate_list" << std::endl; return true; } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE( test ) BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test ) { std::list<int>* list1 = user_defined_func(); BOOST_CHECK_PREDICATE( validate_list, (list1) ); delete list1; } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END() On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 5:09 PM, Gennadiy Rozental wrote:

No surprises here: can't pass pointer to the function expecting reference.
