Although it is not a requirement, I do wish more libraries submitted for review had these additions to the CMakeLists.txt as my skills at compiling and running things outside of Visual Studio are incredibly limited (or rather, non-existent).
Or not. I don't think we should uglify all our CMakeLists.txt files beyond recognition for the benefit of exactly one person in the observable universe.
I'm actually curious how much if would've sufficed to just simply add a test/CMakeLists.txt that just did: boost_test_jamfile(...) and then you just generate the solution from the boost-root, as is the standard for Boost. Interestingly, I would've had to manually add this for my own workflows as I use clangd which is based on a compile_commands.json. Without tests, there would've been nothing to compile. - Christian
