Change log

Boost.Test v3.1 / boost 1.60
New major features
  • improved API for datasets
    • it is now possible to use initializer lists
    • the use of make as top left dataset is not necessary anymore
  • improved command line interface
    • clearer help commands
    • now proposes closest matching command in case of ambiguity

    • reports invalid or ambiguous parameters: this might break existing calls when user defined commands are provided to the test module. The following calling convention should be adopted:

      • if the test module uses user supplied commands, those should be passed after an empty token --
      • all boost.test related commands should be passed before --, if any

      Example: the call 

      test_module --user-arg1=xy --log_level=test_suite

      should be rewritten to 

      test_module --log_level=test_suite -- --user-arg1=xy
