11478	Boost Test Exception Assert Failure has poor message	merrill.cornish@…	Raffi Enficiaud	"Here is the Boost Test assertion:

BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION(dummyOpr->setOperand(emptyValue), DiGSE::fail,
fail_msg);

Here is the test execution log message:

info: check 'incorrect exception DiGSE::fail is caught' has passed

I have only one exception: DiGSE::fail (derived from
std::exception). It is the /only /exception that appears in the
BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION() assertions.  So, what does ""incorrect
exception DiGSE::fail"" mean?  If DiGSE::fail was caught, then that
part is correct.  If the message means that some other exception was
caught, then this is a Really Poor way of phrasing that information.

Or, did the predicate return false (which, in my case, means the
exception message is wrong)?

But if the wrong exception was caught or the predicate returned
false, then why was the assertion declared ""has passed""?
