https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1639 <p> This is a report from Debian user "Wesley J. Landaker" &lt;wjl@…&gt; See <a class="ext-link" href="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413278"><span class="icon">​</span>http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413278</a> </p> <p> When using boost::test's auto unit test capabilities, boost itself generates the main function, and accepts a bunch of different options, such as --show_progress, --build_info, etc, as detailed at: <a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/utf/parameters/index.html">http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/utf/parameters/index.html</a> </p> <p> Unfortunately, there is no easy way to get this list of arguments from the program itself, so you always need to keep the documentation up if you want to mess with any of these options. </p> <p> To make this easier, please support a --help option that simply lists the set of valid arguments. This would be convienent for users, and also would better follow standards. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1639 Trac 1.4.3 Marshall Clow Tue, 24 Jun 2008 16:13:03 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1639#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1639#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 Gennadiy Rozental Sat, 06 Jun 2009 10:07:15 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1639#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1639#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> Fixed in a trunk some time ago </p> Ticket
