I'm trying to update my project to use boost 1.35. There is behavior in the test library to catch SIGCHLD and consider it an error. Is there a reason for this? I have cases where my tests really do need to execute something (to test some execution code). For our purposes, the default behavior of SIGCHLD is correct, and reporting it as an error is wrong. The other signals (SIGILL, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, etc.) are all good to catch, as they usually indicate a real error. Is there some way to configure this separately from the rest of the errors properly detected and reported by BOOST_TEST_CATCH_SYSTEM_ERRORS=yes? Here's some output: Platform: linux Compiler: GNU C++ version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2) STL : GNU libstdc++ version 20070929 Boost : 1.35.0 unknown location(0): fatal error in "test_real_execute": child has exited; pid: 1000; uid: 22286; exit value: 0 test_execute.cpp(106): last checkpoint Note that in that output the PID and UID are backwards. I couldn't find any way to configure this separately, so for my own use I'm just going to put a few #ifdefs around the SIGCHLD code (like the SIGPOLL handling) in boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp unless someone has a better idea. Thanks. -Kevin-
