Hi All, I've recently found a reproducible regression in Boost.Test while moving from 1.32.0 to 1.33.1. This regression is apparently present in the HEAD and 1.34 candidate as well. I can confirm this problem (and the fix) on HP aC++ 06.12 (ia64), HP aCC 03.67 (PA-RISC) and Sun Studio 11 (SPARC, with and without -library=stlport4). According to one of our compiler vendors this is reproducible on Tru64/Alpha cxx as well. The fix is to change the test_unit::m_dependencies member (in boost/test/unit_test_suite.hpp, unit_test_suite_impl.hpp in trunk) from std::list<test_unit_id> to std::vector<test_unit_id> (yes, I know that doesn't make a whole lot of sense). The test case is: --- #include <boost/test/included/unit_test_framework.hpp> #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> class DummyTest : public boost::unit_test_framework::test_suite { public: DummyTest() : boost::unit_test_framework::test_suite( "DummyTest" ) {} void testDummy() { BOOST_CHECK( true ); } }; boost::unit_test_framework::test_suite * init_unit_test_suite( int argc, char * argv[] ) { boost::unit_test_framework::test_suite * test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "Test Test Suite" ); boost::shared_ptr<DummyTest> suite_a( new DummyTest() ); test->add( BOOST_CLASS_TEST_CASE( &DummyTest::testDummy, suite_a ) ); return test; } --- When the test has run, and once in global destructors, the binary dumps core repeatably. The stack trace of the crash is: --- [michael@uxcpth05 testtest]$ echo "where" | gdb a.out core HP gdb 5.4.0 for HP Itanium (32 or 64 bit) and target HP-UX 11.2x.

After applying the fix above the test runs reliably. It'd be great to have this fix applied to the 1.34.0 candidate and the trunk. Regards, Michael
