Confusion about output_test_stream in the testing tools
I have a unit test case that includes #include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp> #include <boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp> // I will try without the unit test namespace // 1.32 using boost::test_toolbox::ostream_test_stream; using boost::test_toolbox::output_test_stream; output_test_stream ostream; This worked in 1.32 (I think--the comment makes it sound as if it shouldn't). But in 1.33 I get error: `output_test_stream' not declared Turning to the documentation, I couldn't find any mention of this navigating the docs for boost.test (including looking at the detailed release notes). However, when I did a site search I found http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/test_tools/output_test_stream_... That page itself is confusing. the heading is boost::test_tools::ostream_test_stream but the class definition and other material use output_test_stream. The file test/output_test_stream.hpp names the class output test stream. Can anyone clarify what's going on? Either the documentation needs to be tweaked, or I'm confused, or both. Ross

Sorry for unclear docs. output_test_stream reside in subnamespace test_tools now. Though I expect old namespace still to work. Because test_tools.hpp contains: namespace test_toolbox = test_tools; I am working on documentation update at the moment. Hopefully next release this confusion is going to be remedied. HTH, Gennadiy

HTH,
Gennadiy Thanks. I think the key thing I was missing was the appropriate include, which I guess is necessary now but didn't used to be needed. Here's a snippet of the code that seemed to work (I'm still having

Yes. In 1.33 output_test_stream.hpp is not included in test_tools.hpp anymore. You need to include one explicetly. Gennadiy
For the record, I did just notice this at http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/test_tools/index.html: "In addition to toolbox, the Test Tools also contains separate ostream_test_stream tool. This is class designed to significantly simplify correctness testing of the ostream based output procedures. For detailed description of it's interface and usage see the ostream_test_stream page." So there is a pointer to the ostream stuff in the docs. Ross
