[Boost-users] [test] Automating system("pause")

Hi,

Currently in Visual Studio, running a console application as a unit test
results in the dialog immediately disappearing after it is done executing,
regardless of success or failure. In both cases, I would like for the
console dialog to pause, as it does with a call to system( "pause" );. Is
there some preprocessor directive I can define to make this happen? Since
Boost.Test is a framework, it is the responsibility of boost to do this. If
it doesn't do it at all, I could just as easily go into the source code and
add that logic myself if I need to.

Help is appreciated.
