#12095: disabling test with precondition leads to error

 Reporter:  Patrick Moran <patrick.a.moran@…>  |      Owner:  rogeeff
     Type:  Bugs                               |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined                   |  Component:  test
  Version:  Boost 1.60.0                       |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  test precondition failure          |
-----------------------------------------------+---------------------
 Minimal reproduction:
 {{{#!C++
 #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE repro
 #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
 BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(fail,
 *boost::unit_test::precondition([](boost::unit_test::test_unit_id){ return
 false; })) {}
 }}}

 Output (1.60.0 from source):
 {{{
 Running 1 test case...

 *** Errors were detected in the test module "repro"; see standard output
 for details
 }}}

 Based on the documentation here:
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_60_0/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/tests_organization/enabling.html

 I assumed that disabling a test with a precondition was not supposed to be
 erroneous (the example had two tests fail, and one that did not run
 because of a failed precondition.  Alltogether, two (not three) errors
 were reported.  Also, the message indicates that we should look at stdout,
 but stdout has nothing.

 * It doesn't require the predicate to be a lambda, that was just the
 shortest thing I could find for a small repro.
 * It doesn't depend on this being the only test case - adding another case
 doesn't change the behaviour
