Hi, Just to chime in with my problems using BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE ... I always have problems when checking for small numbers or zero. I write something like BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE(0,x,1e-5) and start wondering why it fails, then rewrite the test using an epsilon value. When I know the value is going to be near zero this is ok, but sometimes tests are written for computed values. A possible solution would be to have a check that uses the maximum of a relative and an absolute tolerance. Hugo
