|
| Essencially the reason is that Boost.Test does indeed do not

| error occured.
|
| Let's say we have
|
| ....
| 123: BOOST_CHECK( foo() );
|
| If there is a fatal error within function foo invokation
| Boost.Test doesn't

| 123, since the assertion is not validated yet. What I could

| occured with assertion at line 123)

| Is it good enough?

It is certainly good enough, but the existing 1st message has confused me -
not difficult ;-)

It suggested to me that I was missing something.

Could the first message easily and usefully say "After line 123" perhaps?
