Re: [boost] [test] integration with debugger

Hi Thorsten,

I normally place soft breakpoint in the code that announces the test failure
and walk the call stack.

Alternatively you can use the IsDebuggerPresent() call combined with
DebugBreak as a Windows only modification to the assertions. This only
causes a debug break if a developer has attached a local debugger. The
automated unit test execution is unaffected.

See:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms680345.aspx for
IsDebuggerPresent()

I hope this helps,
Neil Groves

Subject: [boost] [test] integration with debugger

Hi all,

Has anybody successfully integrated the debugger with 
boost.test/unit_test with visual studio 7/8?

I'm a bit annoyed that I don't break into the debugger, when an 
assertion triggers.

Thanks in advance

-Thorsten
