Hello,
what do people think about Boost.Range support?
Instead of writing
my_range_type r = <complex expression>;
std::vector< int > v = list_of(1)(2)(3);
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL_COLLECTIONS(r.begin(), r.end(), v.begin(), v.end());
one could write more conveniently the single line
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL_RANGES( <complex expression>, list_of(1)(2)(3) );
It's also more readable and would so improve the documentational aspect of tests.
I think this idea has some merit. But I wouldn't want to enforce yet another dependency on Boost.Test users. There are two options here: 1. Put theses definition into separate header 2. Guard these definitions with something like ifndef BOOST_TEST_MINIMAL_DEPENDENCIES In any case modification will have to be done after release. Genandiy
