My program uses ATL which provides an ATLTRACE macro (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dhxsse89%28VS.80%29.aspx) which, when given a string, will output this to the 'debug output'. The debug output is not normally printed to the console unless running in the debugger. In order to see it without the debugger you would normally have to use a tool such as DbgView to capture and display it.
I have some suspicions why this might happen. Can you post simple example illustrating this behavior?
This code: #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE Windows debug trace tests #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <windows.h> #include <atlbase.h> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(TraceSuite); BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(trace_test) { int a = 3; OutputDebugStringA("Mary had a little lamb\n"); OutputDebugStringW(L"Its fleece was white as snow\n"); ATLTRACE("And everywhere that Mary went\n"); ATLTRACE2("That lamb was sure to go\n"); BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL( a, 3 ); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END(); Produces the following output: Running 1 test case... And everywhere that Mary went That lamb was sure to go *** No errors detected Notice that only the ATL trace functions appear in the Boost.Test output. I tried to follow the ATL trace code through but ended at the declaration of AtlTraceVU(...) without any more source to look at so I can't see what it does from there. Any ideas? Thanks. Alex
