You could try submitting that as a bug report in Trac (if it's  not already there), or waiting for Gennadiy Rozental's response.

Done.  I hope I did it properly.  Never reported a bug on Boost before.  Quoted our discussion, so that some more info is available if necessary.

In the  meantime, you'd need to write a more intelligent test yourself. 

I will do it manually.  Found someone on Stack Overflow who wanted the same behavior I expected and did it.  In case it helps someone, here is the snippet: try {     … code that should throw ...     BOOST_ERROR( “ did not throw anything. Expected a ” ); } catch(  const& ) {     //ok, this is the expected case } catch(…) {     BOOST_ERROR( “ has throw an unknown exception, but a was expected.” ); } and the reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21774387/boost-unit-testing-exceptions Thanks again for your help.
