Because I get duplicated symbols when linking otherwise. Therefore you need to use either

c_literal_string LOG_LEVEL = "BOOST_TEST_LOG_LEVEL";

or

literal_string const LOG_LEVEL = "BOOST_TEST_LOG_LEVEL";

in the header file.

I would unconditionally add static to all parameter definitions instead.

What about const_string const LOG_LEVEL = "BOOST_TEST_LOG_LEVEL"; That would work too. Is that ok for you? If yes, the corresponding patch is attached. If not, please just check in the workaround for basic_cstring_fwd.hpp and change the other file to your liking.
