#3896 closed Bugs (duplicate)

erroneous documentation in boost test commandline parameter description

Reported by: florian.schaper@… Owned by: Gennadiy Rozental
Milestone: Boost 1.59.0 Component: test
Version: Boost 1.39.0 Severity: Cosmetic
Keywords: Cc:

Description

(at least) the online documentation of boost test does contain errors for the commandline parameter description:

see: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/user-guide/runtime-config/reference.html

the documentation for "build_info" and "detect_memory_leak" for example will both list "build_info" as the parameter to be specified on the commandline.

another problem exists with the description of "log_format" and "report_level".

I didn't check how far back this bug made it into the boost docs but it's not something new to 1.42 even though I did leave the version info field alone.

Version: Boost 1.42.0Boost 1.39.0

Please don't forget about the actual parameter's name detect_memory_leaks as noted at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3542

It presents in 1.39.0 too.

This still exists in 1.45.0. See

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/user-guide/runtime-config/reference.html

So maybe someone forgot to merge to release?
