Program options within init_unit_test_suite are incorrect when using path and whitespaces

[chriswimmer@…]

Hi,

I use the component program options and unit tests of boost 1.47 on Windows.

When running a unit test I have to check for some additional options (other than the boost options). So I use test_suite* init_unit_test_suite( int argc, char* argv[] ) An option may look like this

-W "$(OutDir)"

and OutDir may contain any path with whitespaces. However, the function init_unit_test_suite receives an incorrect number of arguments in argc. I guess that boost unit test also parses options with program_options so I guess program options may be the problem. However, it could also be the unit test component, I guess.

So the given arguments above (-W ...) produces argc = 4:

argv[0] = exe path

argv[1] = -W

argv[2] = First half of the path with whitespace

argv[3] = Second half of the path with whitespace

However, argv 2 and 3 should be in the same position.

Boost.Test has it's own command-line parsing library, so I am reassigning this issue.

Interesting that they use their own implementation. Wasn't it tested by unit tests? :)

This is addressed in trunk and is going to be released with next version of Boost
