Milestone:  To Be Determined               |   Component:  test        
  Version:  Boost Development Trunk        |    Severity:  Optimization
 Keywords:  boost test warnings-as-errors  |  
-------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Ticket #3598 reported patches for allowing warnings-as-errors to be used.

 I note that the current trunk version has (possibly new) warnings in
 release mode (debug is OK) that prevent warnings-as-errors from being
 used.

 unit_test_parameters.cpp
 i:\boost-trunk\boost\test\utils\named_params.hpp(73) : error C2220:
 warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated
 i:\boost-trunk\boost\test\utils\named_params.hpp(73) : warning C4702:
 unreachable code

 compile-c-c++ i:\boost-trunk\bin.v2\libs\test\build\msvc-10.0\release
 \asynch-exceptions-on\link-static\threading-multi\decorator.obj
 decorator.cpp
 i:\boost-trunk\boost\test\utils\named_params.hpp(77) : error C2220:
 warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated
 i:\boost-trunk\boost\test\utils\named_params.hpp(77) : warning C4702:
 unreachable code

 execution_monitor.cpp
 i:\boost-trunk\boost\test\impl\execution_monitor.ipp(1040) : error C2220:
 warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated
 i:\boost-trunk\boost\test\impl\execution_monitor.ipp(1040) : warning
 C4702: unreachable code

 It would be nice if either

 1  These can be coded round.

 2  The docs could be updated to warn that warnings-as-errors is not
 supported.

 3  Or if there is some other way round this?
