     Type:  Bugs                          |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0                  |   Component:  test   
  Version:  Boost 1.35.0                  |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  test formatter unit_test_log  |  
------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 The member function {{{void
 boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t::set_formatter(
 boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_formatter* )}}} gives the log ownership of
 the given formatter.  Isn't it customary to use
 {{{std::auto_ptr<boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_formatter>}}} for this
 purpose?  The intentions would be clearer.  And it would minimize the
 chance of submitting an object created in an incompatible manner.

 This should be implemented in a new member function, so the current one
 can stay (but depreciated) for backwards compatibility.
