#3811: global namespace polution
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 Reporter: johnmaddock | Owner: rogeeff
     Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: Boost 1.42.0 | Component: test
  Version: Boost Development Trunk | Severity: Problem
 Keywords: |
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 As noted in this thread:
 http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2010/01/160448.php all global
 symbols whether macros or extern "C" functions should start with a
 "boost_" prefix - both to avoid polluting the global namespace as far as
 is possible, and to make boost-related symbols readily identifiable and
 searchable.

 Boost.Test has the global symbol
 "execution_monitor_jumping_signal_handler" which should probably be
 "boost_execution_monitor_jumping_signal_handler", likewise for
 "execution_monitor_attaching_signal_handler".
