UTF : capturing asserts
Hi, Just started using the BOOST unit test framework. I have legacy code that exercises asserts. This resided on both a linux and windows platform. Using 1.42 release of boost. Is there a method in which to capture assert so as to pass a test ( like BOOST_REQUIRE_THROW)? It is either that, compile code without debug on ( which I wouldn't want to do if debugging) or replace all asserts which would be painful considering it is legacy code.

There is no way to capture assert in a portable way.

In a long term later is probably your best option. Gennadiy

Can your assert be redefined globally to throw a specific exception that can then be caught by BOOST_REQUIRE_THROW for purposes of testing? Jeff
