3117,"BOOST_CHECK requires !!x, fails if x is convertible to bool and disables operator!",Daniel Frey,Gennadiy Rozental,"BOOST_CHECK( x ) requires !!x to be convertible to bool, although it should only require x to be convertible to bool. The problem can be seen in libs/utility/operators_test.cpp:661, where I had to convert the result of the comparison explicitly (as well as in many other places in this file).

The offending code is found in boost/test/predicate_result.hpp:53, and I don't actually see why this constructor is needed at all. It actually only makes sense for types which are ''not'' convertible to bool directly, but only through double negation.

I suggest to remove the constructor at line 53/54. If it breaks something, it means that this something is not convertible to bool and it should be fixed, instead of relying on BOOST_TEST to apply double negation.
