[Test] Where to learn about boost::itest::mock_object?
by Mateusz Loskot 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi, I'm looking for a simple mocking library to use together with Boost.Test. There is Turtle (aka Boost.Mock) and googlemock. During retrospection of the big thread on Boost.Test future [1], I found this curious post by Gennadiy [2] about mock_object. I had no idea such facility lives in Boost.Test and it looks it's been there for very long time. I can't find any documentation about mock_oboject, only a couple of examples. So, I have a few questions: Is the mock_object an internal feature or is it dedicated (and ready) to use by Boost.Test users? What are basic features of this mocking facility? How does it compare to Turtle or googlemock?

Does Boost.Test cover 'golden file approach'?
by Journeyer J. Joh 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hello, I know almost nothing about 'golden file approach'. http://weblogs.java.net/blog/alexeyp/archive/2007/02/testing_command.html >From this blog, you can find the term 'golden file approach'. I want to know if Boost.Test cover this kind of testing. Can I implement 'golden file approach' with Boost.Test? If so please provide me more information about it. Thank you very much. ---------------------------------------- Journeyer J. Joh o o s a p r o g r a m m e r a t g m a i l d o t c o m ----------------------------------------

[Test] using output_test_stream to compare in the middle of a file
by Lloyd 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hi, We need to test a function which reads a "record" from a binary file. We want to compare the buffer with the "record" in input file.We know the offset of the record in input file. How can we compare the output_test_stream with a certain offset (and length) of the file? or is there any alternative for this? Thanks, Lloyd

Boost.Test segfault clang++3.3 macports cmake
by Dave Gomboc 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

I am getting a segmentation fault when attempting to use Boost.Test. I suspect that I don't have something set up correctly -- your assistance in remedying this would be appreciated. I am using clang++-mp-3.3 as installed by MacPorts on OS X 10.8.4. Here's the crash, which occurs after Boost.Test reports "*** No errors detected". Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.

[boost.test] How to register custom exception for auto test?
by Jörg Becker 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hi, I'm using the test library of boost 1.49.0 for my unit tests. It works fine so fare, but if my program throws an error, I get the default error message unknown location(0): fatal error in "excption1_test": unknown type, witch hides the original error message. I tried to register an error translator, but without success. Here is what I tried (modified test/test/custom_exception_test.cpp to use auto test with global fixture): #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE "boost test custom_exception_test" #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <boost/test/unit_test_monitor.hpp> using namespace boost::unit_test; BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE( custom_exception_testsuite ) struct my_exception1 { explicit my_exception1( int res_code ) : m_res_code( res_code ) {} int m_res_code; }; void throw_my_exception1() { throw my_exception1( 12 ); } void my_exception1_translator( my_exception1 ) { BOOST_TEST_MESSAGE( "Caught my_exception1" ); } class my_config { public: my_config () { unit_test_monitor.register_exception_translator<my_exception1>( &my_exception1_translator ); } }; BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE( my_config ) BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( excption1_test ) { throw_my_exception1(); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END() Can anybody tell me what I'm missing? Thanks, Jörg

Max Boost Fusion tuple parameters
by Rodrigo Madera 15 Sep '13

15 Sep '13

Hello, What is the maximum Boost Fusion tuple param count? I was thinking of using it for about 200-300 elements. Anyone done this? I've heard of defines for this, but never actually *knew* of anyone actually doing it. Thanks, Rodrigo Madera

[BGL] Having a cost function as weight map
by Maxime van Noppen 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi, I can't find how to do this pretty basic thing : having a function instead of a field to compute the cost of edges for various path finding algorithms. I couldn't find the answer in the documentation and Google was of no help. Did I miss something obvious ? Example : ------------------- #include <boost/graph/dijkstra_shortest_paths.hpp> #include <boost/graph/graph_traits.hpp> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> struct my_edge { double cost() const { return cost_ * 2; } double cost_; }; struct my_node { }; int main() { typedef boost::adjacency_list< boost::vecS, boost::vecS, boost::directedS, my_node, my_edge > graph_t; typedef boost::graph_traits<graph_t>::vertex_descriptor vertex_t; graph_t graph; vertex_t v /*= ... */; using boost::weight_map; // Works : boost::dijkstra_shortest_paths(graph, v, weight_map(boost::get(&my_edge::cost_, graph))); // Doesn't compile : //boost::dijkstra_shortest_paths(graph, v, // weight_map(boost::get(&my_edge::cost, graph))); } ------------------- Thanks ! -- Maxime

Hi all, I use undirected_dfs to detect all cycles in a undirected graph. I detect a cycle with DFSVisitor.back_edge(e,g) but how can I get the list of vertices defining this cycle ? Thanks by advance

[thread] Can't compile once.cpp for ppc in 1.54
by James Walker 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

Attempting to build the 1.54.0 version of the thread library for ppc on Mac OS X 10.6.8, using Apple's GCC 4.0, I get this error: boost_1_54_0/boost/atomic/detail/gcc-ppc.hpp: In member function 'bool boost::atomics::detail::base_atomic<T, int, 4u, Sign>::compare_exchange_strong(T&, T, boost::memory_order, boost::memory_order) volatile [with T = unsigned int, bool Sign = false]': /Volumes/Home/Mercurial/boost_1_54_0/boost/atomic/detail/gcc-ppc.hpp:1190: error: impossible constraint in 'asm' If I use GCC 4.2, I don't get the error. But I'm hesitant to use that compiler, because it usually produces code that won't run on G3's. -- James W. Walker, Innoventive Software LLC <http://www.frameforge3d.com/>
