Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #12530: No way to find out Boost.Test version without running any tests https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12530 <p> As I understand, there's currently no way to find out Boost.Test version without running any tests. --build_info works only if at least one test gets to be run. But for unit test runners to work around bugs like broken --report_sink/--log_sink in Boost 1.62, it's necessary to know Boost version to construct a valid command line. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12530 Trac 1.4.3 Igor Akhmetov <igor.akhmetov@…> Fri, 14 Oct 2016 16:25:37 GMT component changed; owner set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12530#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12530#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> set to <span class="trac-author">Gennadiy Rozental</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">None</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">test</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Raffi Enficiaud Tue, 18 Oct 2016 21:02:13 GMT owner, status changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12530#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12530#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> changed from <span class="trac-author">Gennadiy Rozental</span> to <span class="trac-author">Raffi Enficiaud</span> </li> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">assigned</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Raffi Enficiaud Tue, 08 Nov 2016 22:48:04 GMT milestone changed https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12530#comment:3 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12530#comment:3 <ul> <li><strong>milestone</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">To Be Determined</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Boost 1.63.0</span> </li> </ul> <p> Added a <code>--version</code> to the command line: the resulting information (to <code>std::cerr</code>) contains the Boost version as well as other information equivalent to <code>--build_info</code> (and more). </p> Ticket Igor Akhmetov <igor.akhmetov@…> Wed, 09 Nov 2016 12:42:06 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12530#comment:4 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12530#comment:4</guid> <description> <p> Thanks! </p> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> <item> <dc:creator>Raffi Enficiaud</dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 11 Dec 2016 18:55:58 GMT</pubDate> <title>status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12530#comment:5 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12530#comment:5 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">assigned</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> Ticket
