[Boost.Test] how to get current test outcome from within test case
This must be an FAQ but I haven't found the answer in the documentation. With Boost.Test, is there a way to know whether the current test case's success/failure status? Cheers pj
I am such an impatient lad, I answered my own question:

Looks right. I would define a alias for boost::unit_test.
How about providing a tool wrapper for this feature?
Why do you need this? How frequent do you think this would be requested? Gennadiy
Well.. in general, not that often, I suppose.
In our augmented version of your test framework, I've implemented
fairly sophisticated logic to catch memory leaks on a per-test-case
basis. In the results accounting, I need to know whether a test
failed because of a memory leak or because it failed a predicate
check.
Come to think of it, perhaps this belongs more as an FAQ item for the
documentation rather than a tool proper.

I've been thinking about that. At the moment, it's not possible because much of the code depends on a proprietary heap management library. However I think it should be possible to abstract that out. Perhaps it would be useful if it could at least make use of Microsoft's debug CRT functions? I'll let you know if I get anywhere with generalizing the memory-leak finding code.
