boost::test::execution_exception is not derived from std::exception and this makes my boost::test::*exceptions unaware code not able to log any meaningful error messages. Is there any reason why it is not derived from std::exception?
I am not sure I understand the context where you would need to log boost::test::execution_exception. Could you provide an example.
If the test creates a thread and the thread uses BOOST_CHECK. This probably wasn't a good idea to start with since as far as I know boost::test does not have a mechanism to catch the exceptions generated from other than main thread. A simple thread adaptor would be a nice addition to boost::test. Sean
