There is another alternatve:
BOOST_CHECK_DIFF( a,b, PERCENT( t ) ) BOOST_CHECK_DIFF( a,b, RELATIVE( t ) ) BOOST_CHECK_DIFF( a,b, EPSILON( t ) ) BOOST_CHECK_DIFF( a,b, ABSOLUTE( t ) )
This seems unambiguous and reads well (though I would prefer DIFFERENCE spelt out in full - nearly everyone is going to use copy'n'paste fir this job rather than typing, so it isn't more trouble and reads better, especially for those whose 1st language isn't english ;-)
I guess it's ok. Gennadiy
