I looked at test_diamond and see that I used BOOST_ASSERT incorrectly and will replace it with BOOST_CHECK. I don't use BOOST_ASSERT as I could discern no difference between BOOST_ASSERT and the standard assert(..) defined in <cassert> I wonder if the macros from the Boost.Test should be renamed to include the word test. EG BOOST_TEST_CHECK. Robert Ramey Stefan Seefeld wrote:

I'm looking for references in boost library tests as to how to use BOOST_ASSERT correctly. I thus found the test_diamond tests in boost/serialization. It appears that the way BOOST_ASSERT is used there doesn't do anything in release mode, i.e. the expression isn't evaluated at all. (I modified the expression and the test still passed.)

(As it happens, I was looking specifically for applications of http://www.boost.org/libs/utility/assert.html, as I want to use it in my own tests.)
