[I don't know if the 1.33.1 trial has changed anything here.] The automatic unit test macros look interesting. There are even mentioned in the release notes for the Test library in 1.33.0. Unfortunately, that mention is the _sole_ appearance of those macros in the documentation. Even if the author can't afford to write a 20 page dissertation on those macros, a quick & dirty usage guide as an e-mail on this list would be appreciated. At least then the next programmer can Goggle for help. The macros listed are: BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_EXPECTED_FAILURES BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN (and BOOST_AUTO_UNIT_TEST which is now a depreciated synonym for BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE). On a related note, what are the required files from Boost.Test needed to link these helpers with my test programs. The release notes mentioned a change in the included components but I don't think the page with the actual list changed. -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com
