Hi. I'd like a little guidance regarding the use of <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> please. I'm using mingw--gcc-3.4.5 with CodeBlocks 8.02. I'm dynamically linking to boost_unit_test_framework-mgw34-d-1_36.dll via boost_unit_test_framework-mgw34-d-1_36.lib. I have BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK defined and I've worked out that I need to have #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE <whatever> defined in one source file prior to #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>. That's all good so far and the following example compiles and runs. ------------------------ // Main.cpp #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE Main #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> ------------------------ // Test1.cpp #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test1) { BOOST_CHECK(true); } ------------------------ // Test2.cpp #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test2) { BOOST_CHECK(true); } ------------------------ My problem arises when I try to include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> in a precompiled header. ------------------------ // Pch.h #ifndef PCH_H_INCLUDED #define PCH_H_INCLUDED // Boost headers. #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #endif // PCH_H_INCLUDED ------------------------ // Main.cpp #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE Main #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> ------------------------ // Test1.cpp #include "Pch.h" BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test1) { BOOST_CHECK(true); } ------------------------ // Test2.cpp #include "Pch.h" BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test2) { BOOST_CHECK(true); } ------------------------ The compiler is exiting with no errors but no output binary is produced.

The following simple case also works fine. ------------------------ // Pch.h #ifndef PCH_H_INCLUDED #define PCH_H_INCLUDED // Boost headers. #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE Main #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #endif // PCH_H_INCLUDED ------------------------ // Main.cpp #include "Pch.h" BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test1) { BOOST_CHECK(true); } ------------------------ I'll start having a look at the Boost source and see if I can work out what I'm doing wrong, but if anyone can see a problem with what I'm trying to do here I'd be grateful if they could point it out for me.
