When I include header <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> in my program, the linker complains that symbol "execution_exception" is undefined. I looked at the compiler output and found that class "execution_exception" is a parameter on "virtual void exception_caught(execution_exception const&)" in file test_observer.hpp. It is declared but never defined.

What is?

The symbol "execution_exception". It is forward declared but does not have a definition. I verified this by looking at the preprocessor output. I was able to successfully compile and run all the Xpressive tests and examples with the /clr flag under msvc-9.0, after I added "#include <boost/test/execution_monitor.hpp>" to file "test_observer.hpp" to fix the linker warning. The warning is "LNK4248: unresolved typeref token (01000015) for 'boost.execution_exception'".

If it compiles it should work fine. The exception is implemented in the library.

Oops, maybe I should have compiled the library with /clr too. Anyway, here is an example command line and program to duplicate the problem under msvc-8.0: Thanks, Dave Jenkins cl /clr test_1.cpp -I%BOOST_ROOT% /link libboost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt-1_35.lib /ENTRY:main // test_1.cpp #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> // #include <boost/test/execution_monitor.hpp> void test1() {} using namespace boost::unit_test; test_suite* init_unit_test_suite( int argc, char* argv[] ) { test_suite *test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("test1"); test->add(BOOST_TEST_CASE(&test1)); return test; }
