[Boost-users] [test] long exception message and last checkpoint data

Hi,

I have a test case throwing a custom exception with a quite long error 
description.
Because Boost.Test truncates it when translating the exception to a 
boost::execution_exception internally, only (about) 512 characters are 
being displayed.

I suppose I could install a custom exception translator to perform the 
logging, then rethrow a boost::execution_aborted.
However I don't see any way to access the last checkpoint data which are 
encapsulated and can only be logged by processing a 
boost::execution_exception within 
boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t::exception_caught

Is there anything obvious I have missed which could help me work around 
this issue ?
Otherwise would this be a valuable feature request for the UTF ?

Thank you,
Mathieu
