Hi,
According to the regression summary, the new numeric conversion library is in pretty good shape(thanks to Joaquín Muñoz for his latest fixes!)
I want to test how far can the new "numeric_cast<>" replace the old one. For that, I want to put the exact same test that's currently used for
old numeric_cast in the new library. Right now, cast_test.cpp contains numeric_cast<> test with other conversions. I will factor it out, but I have a doubt: it is not using

Test framework at all, it's just printing the test result to std out.
Does the regression scripts parse the output, or these test are just wrongly integrated?
Should I update those test to use the Unit Test Framework?

It basically your choice, but why wouldn't you. I keep repeating during formal reviews that test programs could be enhanced here and there would you use Boost.Test (and all it's tools).
I'd rather change it to use at least the minimal test framework, otherwise I don't see how these results are interpreted. But then I don't know if there is someone expecting the particular format of this result and parsing it. If that's the case, my "fix" will we interpreted as a failure. Fernando Cacciola SciSoft
