Hi,

I'm having troulbe using libboost_text_exec_monitor with Visual Studio

This component is deprecated and you shouldn't use it.

2008. Basically a very simple test application, that initializes a test suite in an init_unit_test_suite() function fails to link on Visual Studio, when trying to link against both libboost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-gd-1_35.lib and libboost_test_exec_monitor-vc90-mt-gd-1_35.lib.

This is definitely an error. These are not intended to be used together. You should get tons of duplicate symbol errors.

I'm getting an error of LNK2019 saying that int __cdecl test_main(int, char ** const) is an unresolved external symbol. The error, strangely enough, is reported from libboost_test_exec_monitor-vc90-mt-fd-1_35.lib(test_main.obj), being a reference from the function test_main_caller::operator().

The same code compiles & links fine using gcc on Linux, linking to the same libraries (of course without the -vc90-mt-fd-1_35 suffix). The code is simply:

Strange.

#include

using namespace boost::unit_test;

void test() { BOOST_CHECK(true); }

test_suite * init_unit_test_suite(int, char **) { test_suite *ts = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("Test"); ts->add(BOOST_TEST_CASE(&test)); framework::master_test_suite().add(ts);

return 0; }

Looks like you are using manual but straitforward test unit registration with unit test framework

Shall I add something to the above code? shouldn't the text_exec_monitor library contain test_main?

No. In fact, you have to delete something ;) Specifically reference to test_exec_monitor from link line and it will work fine. Gennadiy
