I am using Boost.Test from the current boost 1.38 , on cygwin ( gcc ) and I want to use it with multiple test files and with shared libs ( in order to speed up the compilation time which is too long for me when using the header include variant ).
What is the recommended way ? ( I read the doc, several times and I read the _long_ threads on the mailing list concerning the static/shared library issue, but I am not sure that I understood all the details).
I did the following:
*in mainTest.cpp:*
#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK #define BOOST_TEST_MAIN
#include "../inc/globalFixture.hpp" #include "../inc/testfile1.hpp" #include "../inc/testfile2.hpp"
If you're going to use multiple files, it's better not to include everything in a single translation unit. As long as BOOST_TEST_MAIN and BOOST_TEST_MODULE are only defined in one translation unit you can link multiple translation units together. BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK needs to be defined in every translation unit.
*I then link to boost_unit_test_framework-gcc34-mt-1_38.so The link passes , but I get a warning from gcc++ 3.4.4 that auto-linking has been enabled ( I will provide the exact details if useful ).
If you mean auto-import, that's normal on cygwin. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
