As for callback based interface (another thing is that I couldn't depend on boost::function) your proposition would complicate users interface: one need not only define the init function itself but she also has to write main function itself that invoke the framework and pass this callback (or another function I would call from main myself but this would be catch-22)
Maybe a macro version of init_unit_test_suite would be acceptable. Invocation could look like: INIT_UNIT_TEST_SUITE(int, char* []) { test_suite* test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("test name"); // add tests return test; } This could expand to ::boost::unit_test_::test_suite* init_unit_test_suite(int, char* []); int main(int, char* []) { // register callback, run framework, return result } ::boost::unit_test_::test_suite* init_unit_test_suite(int, char* []) { test_suite* test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("direct_adapter test"); // add tests return test; } Jonathan
