Greetings.
Hi, Sorry for the delay. I am on and off the list a lot these days.
test_suite doesn't have 'remove test' method. I'm wondering why... It might be quite useful. My company uses boost::test and defines test_suites in different DLLs loading them as they needed (creating the 'test tree' from cases and suites). The problem arises when it comes to unload the DLLs. We need to use pretty ugly workaround that is 'first unloaded test_suite DLL needs to destroy all test cases'. We're trying to avoid 'memory can't be read' issue.
Making any changes in boost::test is extremly poor idea because someone needs to be delegated to track changes in boost::test and make intrusive changes.
Inheritance from test_case or test_suite is impossible due to nature of them - they are implemented as (private) pimpls.
Is there any chance to add 'remove' facility to boost::test or at least test_suite?
Yeah. This seems like a valid request. I will try to implement this in future version of Boost.Test Gennadiy
