In 1.33.1 release, is the following true? BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE( suite_name, F ); //not supported BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE( test_name, F ); //not supported Thanks, Ed

BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE wouldn't compile. BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE compiled and worked fine at first glance. However, I made a BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE into a friend function of my testee class, and got a compiler error. BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE works fine as a friend function of a testee. Using 1.33.1

It's later addition

BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE is a macro. I am not sure what you are trying to do by declaring it a friend?

The same here. Gennadiy

BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE is a macro. I am not sure what you are trying to do by declaring it a friend?

I want to be able to test private members of my classes while using the Auto Test framework. I won't test private data that often, so it's not that big a deal to use the BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE for those occasions. We discussed it in this thread: [Unit-Test] How to test private functions

Let me repeat. *BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE is a macro*. Declaring it as a friend doesn't help you in any way. Gennadiy

Gennadiy

I'm comfortable with the fact that BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE will not work with friend. However, isn't BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE also a macro? We both agreed in this thread that BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE worked as a friend function, right?

No. We did not. BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE is a macro also. And whatever you do defining macro as a friend wont help you. I am bit confused that I need to explain this. What do you expect to achieve by defining macro as a friend? It's just invalid C++. (Well not exactly, but that is definitely not what you expect it to be) Gennadiy
