[test] Request related to BOOST_PRG_MON_CONFIRM
Hi, I'd like to request a way to inform the test system whether I want a success message or not. The Inspect tool makes a good example: if the user just invokes <inspect --help> I do not want a "no errors detected" to be displayed at the end. However, if I really run the inspection and there are no errors I'd like to have the message. Of course BOOST_PRG_MON_CONFIRM can't do that. We could choose a particular bit in the cpp_main return value to carry the desired piece of information, but that's not something I would be proud of. What's the best solution in the context of the test framework? -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ]

The UTF supports --report_level=no, which will cause no confirmation message to appear. You could also use unit_test::results_reporter::set_level( unit_test::NO_REPORT ) to update the report level programmatically. Gennadiy

Thanks, I'll see if I can apply that. Likely to be my last contribution to Boost, and a little present to Beman :-) Wish I could thank him better. -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer. For hire ]

Hmm, I must have been asleep when I wrote this. The Inspect tool uses the program execution monitor (which makes sense; it's not a unit test). So we are back to the starting point (or, rather, we have never moved from there). -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer. For hire ]

Why don't you set BOOST_PRG_MON_CONFIRM to "no" from within your code in case help was requested? Gennadiy

Mainly because putenv() is not standard C++. -- [ Gennaro Prota. C++ developer, Library designer. ] [ For Hire http://gennaro-prota.50webs.com/ ]

I believe putetv/setenv should cover all compilers/OS we care about. I don't really see what else could be done at the moment. Gennadiy
