...one of the most highly
regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
world.

Coding Standards
The header <boost/core/lightweight_test.hpp>
is a lightweight test framework. It's useful for writing Boost regression
tests for components that are dependencies of Boost.Test.
When using lightweight_test.hpp
,
do not forget to return
boost::report_errors()
from main
.
#define BOOST_TEST(expression) /*unspecified*/ #define BOOST_TEST_NOT(expression) /*unspecified*/ #define BOOST_ERROR(message) /*unspecified*/ #define BOOST_TEST_EQ(expr1, expr2) /*unspecified*/ #define BOOST_TEST_NE(expr1, expr2) /*unspecified*/ #define BOOST_TEST_LT(expr1, expr2) /*unspecified*/ #define BOOST_TEST_LE(expr1, expr2) /*unspecified*/ #define BOOST_TEST_GT(expr1, expr2) /*unspecified*/ #define BOOST_TEST_GE(expr1, expr2) /*unspecified*/ #define BOOST_TEST_CSTR_EQ(expr1, expr2) /*unspecified*/ #define BOOST_TEST_CSTR_NE(expr1, expr2) /*unspecified*/ #define BOOST_TEST_ALL_EQ(begin1, end1, begin2, end2) /* unspecified */ #define BOOST_TEST_ALL_WITH(begin1, end1, begin2, end2, predicate) /* unspecified */ #define BOOST_TEST_THROWS(expr, excep) /*unspecified*/ namespace boost { int report_errors(); }
BOOST_TEST(expression)
If expression is false increases the error count and outputs a message
containing expression
.
BOOST_TEST_NOT(expression)
If expression is true increases the error count and outputs a message containing
!(expression)
.
BOOST_TEST_EQ(expr1, expr2)
If expr1 ==
expr2
is not true increases the
error count and outputs a message containing both expressions.
BOOST_TEST_NE(expr1, expr2)
If expr1 !=
expr2
is not true increases the
error count and outputs a message containing both expressions.
BOOST_TEST_LT(expr1, expr2)
If expr1 <
expr2
is not true increases the
error count and outputs a message containing both expressions.
BOOST_TEST_LE(expr1, expr2)
If expr1 <=
expr2
is not true increases the
error count and outputs a message containing both expressions.
BOOST_TEST_GT(expr1, expr2)
If expr1 >
expr2
is not true increases the
error count and outputs a message containing both expressions.
BOOST_TEST_GE(expr1, expr2)
If expr1 >=
expr2
is not true increases the
error count and outputs a message containing both expressions.
BOOST_TEST_CSTR_EQ(expr1, expr2)
Specialization of BOOST_TEST_EQ
which interprets expr1
and expr2
as pointers to
null-terminated byte strings (C strings). If std::strcmp(expr1, expr2) != 0
,
increase the error count and output a message containing both expressions.
BOOST_TEST_CSTR_NE(expr1, expr2)
Specialization of BOOST_TEST_NE
which interprets expr1
and expr2
as pointers to
null-terminated byte strings (C strings). If std::strcmp(expr1, expr2) == 0
,
increase the error count and output a message containing both expressions.
BOOST_TEST_ALL_EQ(begin1, end1, begin2, end2)
Compares the content of two sequences. If they have different sizes, or if any pairwise element differs, increases the error count and outputs a message containing at most 8 differing elements.
BOOST_TEST_ALL_WITH(begin1, end1, begin2, end2, predicate)
Compares the content of two sequences. If they have different sizes, or if any pairwise element do not fulfill the binary predicate, increases the error count and outputs a message containing at most 8 differing elements.
BOOST_TEST_THROWS(expr, excep)
If BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS
is not defined and if expr
does not throw an exception of type excep
,
increases the error count and outputs a message containing the expression.
If BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS
is defined, this macro expands to nothing and expr
is not evaluated.
#include <boost/core/lightweight_test.hpp> int sqr( int x ) { return x * x; } int main() { BOOST_TEST( sqr(2) == 4 ); BOOST_TEST_EQ( sqr(-3), 9 ); return boost::report_errors(); }
The header <boost/core/lightweight_test_trait.hpp>
defines a couple of extra macros for testing compile-time traits that return
a boolean value.
#define BOOST_TEST_TRAIT_TRUE((Trait)) /*unspecified*/ #define BOOST_TEST_TRAIT_FALSE((Trait)) /*unspecified*/
BOOST_TEST_TRAIT_TRUE((Trait))
If Trait::value != true
increases the error count and outputs
a message containing Trait
.
Note the double set of parentheses; these enable Trait
to contain a comma, which is common for templates.
BOOST_TEST_TRAIT_FALSE((Trait))
If Trait::value != false
increases the error count and outputs
a message containing Trait
.
Note the double set of parentheses.
#include <boost/core/lightweight_test_trait.hpp> #include <boost/core/is_same.hpp> template<class T, class U> struct X { typedef T type; }; using boost::core::is_same; int main() { BOOST_TEST_TRAIT_TRUE(( is_same<X<int, long>::type, int> )); return boost::report_errors(); }
