Hi folks,

we are testing the Boost.Test-Framework (installed with GetIt-Package Boost).
We use C++ Builder 10.4.1 with Boost 1.70.0.

We have created a new C++ Console-Application (with VCL enabled).
Under Project->Options we have set '_TCHAR as char', because Boost.Test seems to need this mapping. It is not working with ' _TCHAR as wchar_t'

The application main-entry-function is imported via #include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>.

The application then is run with the params : --log_level=all --report_level=detailed --build_info=true

The console-output seems to be fuzzy :

  1.  Why is the platform win32? We use target-platform win64 and have installed boost 64bit via getit...
  2.  Paths are outputted with '\' and '/'
  3.  The fatal-error is correct but the consoleoutput 'St9exception' seems not correctly interpreted (charset ?)

Are we doing something wrong or do you have some tipps regarding this ?
Thx a lot.

This is the console-output :
