10699,Add a build flag to increase the size of REPORT_ERROR_BUFFER_SIZE,albert.gil@…,Gennadiy Rozental,"Hi,

Before requesting anything, please let me say that I've been using the Boost.Test library for more than 5 years and it is just great, thanks a lot!

And the small question or request:
Do you think that is a good idea to add a building flag or macro to tune the {{{REPORT_ERROR_BUFFER_SIZE}}}?

The idea is just to add some lines like these in the file {{{test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp}}}:

{{{
#ifdef BOOST_TEST_ERROR_SIZE_VALUE
    #define REPORT_ERROR_BUFFER_SIZE BOOST_TEST_ERROR_SIZE_VALUE
#else
    #define REPORT_ERROR_BUFFER_SIZE 512
#endif
}}}
And remove/replace the {{{static const int REPORT_ERROR_BUFFER_SIZE}}} of function {{{report_error}}}, of course.

Does it has any sense to you?


Thanks!

Albert

PS: I assume that it's not possible to use ""string"" to hold any length of message, right?

PS: We need longer messages because in debug mode our exceptions print a backtrace, and 512 chars is just too few...
