I'm a little surprised that there isn't support for this built into Boost.Test.

Well, not really. Typically people try hard to make their code compile, not to fail ;-)

That depends, of course, on how much metaprogramming you're doing. In order to test the compile-time dimensional analysis code, we need to be able to ensure that a wide range of cases that should be prevented at compile time do, in fact, fail. Many, many cases... Matthias
