These patches, attached to:

#7397: Boost.Test, since boost 1.48 is using the deprecated Boost.Timer class
#7410: Test Units (Cases and Suites) in Boost.Test do not capture __FILE__ and __LINE__ at declaration point making it impossible to provide source file linking using external test management tools
#7417: Detailed test status is not available in the Boost.Test log (status, assertions, passed) and so live test case status cannot be tracked

...taken together allow for sophisticated test tools to be built on top of the Boost.Test output.

Hi, do you know if there exists a workarround to use the new boost timers (boost::timer::cpu_timer) together with boost::test ? I tried, in a new header my_timer.h to do the following thing:

namespace my
{
#include <boost/timer/timer.hpp>
}

and then use my::boost::timer::cpu_timer instead of boost::timer::cpu_timer. Unfortunately, this seems to create other compilation problems:

In file included from /usr/include/boost/ratio/ratio.hpp:37:0,
                 from /usr/include/boost/chrono/duration.hpp:41,
                 from /usr/include/boost/chrono/chrono.hpp:11,
                 from /usr/include/boost/timer/timer.hpp:14,
/usr/include/boost/ratio/detail/mpl/abs.hpp:42:16: error: expected type-specifier before ‘na’

and a whole series of other errors in boost/raio/detail/mpl. I am using boost 1.48 and gcc 4.4 on a ubuntu 64-bit.

This still seems to be an issue in 1.54. Any updates?

Mistake: this work has been postponed because it broke the header only version of boost.test (indirect inclusion of boost.system)
