Hi Gennadiy,

Yes, certainly you're right.
I tested with examples from Boost 1.33 and it works well.

I noticed that the only difference between examples from 1.34 and 1.33 
is header file included:

// for Boost 1.34
#define BOOST_TEST_MAIN
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

// for Boost 1.33
#define BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN
#include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp>

I also checked that the version above for Boost 1.33
works well with Boost 1.34 (tested with VC++ 8.0).
So, can I safely use older approach:

#define BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN
#include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp>

and assume that it will work well with future releases of Boost?

I'm talking about using auto tests with
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE and BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE macros

Best regards
