13290,Ability to detect boost unit test in an executable,Rich Chiodo <rchiodo@…>,Gennadiy Rozental,"I'd like to make it possible for tools to detect if the boost::test framework is being used or not. Right now tools have to parse PDB files for boost::unit_test related symbols and this can be buggy. (Like MSVC /FASTLINK breaking symbol searches)

I propose adding something like so to boost\test\unit_test.hpp

// Define a guid such that external tools can determine if an executable is a boost unit test executable or not.
#ifdef BOOST_MSVC
__declspec(dllexport) const char * __customCE69DB72_boost_test_identifier = ""CE69DB72-CB65-4FDE-A94C-56C871E976D7"";
#endif

This puts the guid CE69DB72-CB65-4FDE-A94C-56C871E976D7 into the string table of the final exe and can be searched by tools (instead of requiring the pdb).",Feature Requests,closed,To Be Determined,test,Boost 1.65.0,Optimization,wontfix,test,
