That is weird. test_and_continue_impl is defined like this:

bool
test_and_continue_impl( bool predicate, wrapstrstream const& message, char
const* file_name, int line_num,
                                    bool add_fail_pass = true, 
                                    unit_test_framework::report_level
loglevel = unit_test_framework::report_all_errors );

How come it does not use implicit convertion to bool here? May be the reason
is in 3rd argument that is defined as char const*. 
I am passing __FILE__ there. Why borland is looking for char* there?

Does any Borland expert could help?
