Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #13625: Boost.test fail to compile with -Werror=missing-declarations on some architectures

Hi,

I am trying to reproduce this. The header

#include <boost/test/unit_test_suite.hpp>

that contains the definition of bool init_unit_test(); is included at the top of boost/test/unit_test.hpp.

I do not quite understand why you are experiencing this error. I do not have access to the logs you mentioned.

I checked the option -Werror=missing-declarations on GCC and clang (apple). With GCC, nothing compiles and with clang everything works well.

I believe that enabling this option is a bit annoying as it renders legit C++ to be erroneous. What I can do instead is to add the declaration of init_unit_test (and other variants) such that your code compiles.

Would that be ok?

I removed the warning from boost.test instead. See rev 972cdd4f367db2f4b3b67521b4259cfa8bf4ba1d.
