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
