5563	using a test macro in a global fixture crashes Boost.Test	m.champlon@…	Raffi Enficiaud	"Using a failing macro (such as BOOST_FAIL) from the constructor (or destructor) of a global fixture crashes the test application, for instance (using vc80 and boost 1.42) :

#define BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN
#include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp>
#define BOOST_LIB_NAME boost_unit_test_framework
#include <boost/config/auto_link.hpp>

struct fixture
{
    fixture()
    {
        BOOST_FAIL( ""oups"" );
    }
    ~fixture()
    {
        BOOST_FAIL( ""oups"" );
    }
};
BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE( fixture );

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( some_test )
{
}

The problem lies in compiler_log_formatter.ipp around line 40 :

const_string
test_phase_identifier()
{
    return framework::is_initialized() 
            ? const_string( framework::current_test_case().p_name.get() )
            : BOOST_TEST_L( ""Test setup"" );
}

because calling framework::current_test_case() is wrong in this case.
Maybe the solution would be to add another state in framework along m_is_initialized and m_test_in_progress ?
I would love to provide a patch but I wasn't able to make bjam build and run the tests...

Thanks,
