[Boost-users] [1.33.1][test][vc80] new user question concerning 1_33_1\libs\test\doc\examples\unit_test_example1.html & unit_test_example1.cpp/

Hi, I've built and run this with libboost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt-gd-1_33_1.lib in my Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies.
  
The single test looks like this:

void free_test_function()
{

// reports 'error in "free_test_function": test 2 == 1 failed'

BOOST_CHECK(2 == 1); // non-critical test => continue after failure

int* p = (int*)0;

*p = 0;

}

When I run it, I see the falied message (2!=1), but I don't get the final 'No errors found' message since '*p=0' causes an unhandlled exception.

But when I run it with 

#include <boost/test/included/unit_test_framework.hpp> 

and no library instead, it runs to completion as expected.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong.

thanks in advance,
John McMahon
