There are way to many predicates out there to introduce direct library

for each one. The recomendation is to use generic predicate support instead.
There are only 5 more comparison operators defined by the language: less, less equal, greater, greater equal and not equal. Maybe it is possible to make it easier to add these, I see there is some complexity involved by looking at the code.
There is not much complexity, but it's tedios from proper error reporting prospective.
It makes a whole lot of sense to add the complementary BOOST_CHECK_NOT_EQUAL - even if it's just for symmetric reasons.
What's wrong with solutions I proposed? You can always do this in your code: #define CHECK_NOT_EQ( a, b ) BOOST_CHECK_PREDICATE( _1 != _2, (a)(b)) Gennadiy
