Hi, 

  I am using the UTF in my code. Below is the key component of my code that I have been using on Mac for a few years with boost installed from macports. 

#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE MAST_TESTS
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>


// C++ includes
#include <memory>

struct GlobalTestFixture {

    

    GlobalTestFixture() {

        

/*    my code here */

    }

    

    ~GlobalTestFixture() {

        

    }

    

};


BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE( GlobalTestFixture );


A few days ago I started using this code on Ubuntu and kept getting segmentation faults with random values being returned for boost::unit_test::framework::master_test_suite().argc

I managed to get rid of this problem by changing the included header to 
#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>

I have seen the description here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/compilation/direct-include.html.  However, I am not quite able to follow why this problem occurred on Ubuntu (with system boost library) when I was still linking against the precompiled library (version 1.58). 

Is there a test I can include in my code to automatically switch from one include to the other? 

I will appreciate some guidance. 

Regards,
Manav
