     Type:  Bugs                |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  To Be Determined    |   Component:  test   
  Version:  Boost 1.42.0        |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                      |  
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 Using a failing macro (such as BOOST_FAIL) from the constructor (or
 destructor) of a global fixture crashes the test application, for instance
 (using vc80 and boost 1.42) :

 #define BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN
 #include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp>
 #define BOOST_LIB_NAME boost_unit_test_framework
 #include <boost/config/auto_link.hpp>

 struct fixture
 {
     fixture()
     {
         BOOST_FAIL( "oups" );
     }
     ~fixture()
     {
         BOOST_FAIL( "oups" );
     }
 };
 BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE( fixture );

 BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( some_test )
 {
 }

 The problem lies in compiler_log_formatter.ipp around line 40 :

 const_string
 test_phase_identifier()
 {
     return framework::is_initialized()
             ? const_string( framework::current_test_case().p_name.get() )
             : BOOST_TEST_L( "Test setup" );
 }

 because calling framework::current_test_case() is wrong in this case.
 Maybe the solution would be to add another state in framework along
 m_is_initialized and m_test_in_progress ?
 I would love to provide a patch but I wasn't able to make bjam build and
 run the tests...

 Thanks,
 MAT.
