[Boost-users] [Test] Asserting a failure

Hi.

Is there a way inside a test case using the Unit Testing Framework to
specify that a particular function call ought to fail? For example, I have a
function that asserts when passed invalid input. In my test case I want to
pass it an invalid parameter and check that the assert is triggered. I'm
looking for a macro called BOOST_CHECK_FAILURE (or something like that), but
cannot find one. All I see are macros that assert successes, and those that
assert exceptions. But my particular function does not throw, it simply
"assert()"s.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
