boost thread unit test module bug on Microsoft Visual Studio debug mode

[gilgil1973@…]

Hi, glad to see you. I've figured out the bug of unit test on MSVC debug mode. if I use BOOST_CHECK in working thread, it does not work correctly. You can download source codes and video clip at ​http://www.gilgil.net/10328 . Thank you.

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE MyUnitTest #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <boost/thread.hpp>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE ( MySuite );

void func() {

BOOST_CHECK ( true );

}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( ThreadTest ) {

static const int THREAD_CNT = 1000; boost::thread* t[THREAD_CNT]; for (int i = 0; i < THREAD_CNT; i++) {

t[i] = new boost::thread(func);

} for (int i = 0; i < THREAD_CNT; i++) {

t[i]->join();

} for (int i = 0; i < THREAD_CNT; i++) {

delete t[i];

}

}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END (); MySuite

I've figured out BOOST_CHECK is not thread-safe. :(

What exactly the problem is? Is this related to a bad behavior on Boost.Thread? If not, you should assign it to Boost.Test.

I didn't know that BOOST_CHECK is not thread safe until a few months ago.

void func(){

BOOST_CHECK ( true );

}

This code is executed in many other threads, and not so good code.

Please close this ticket if you consider Boost.Test BOOST_CHECK shouldn't be thread-safe.
