Hi Ion,
I have a GSOC student writing some containers that fit naturally into Boost.Container. So he tries to do things the way that you have done, which is fine.
I do wonder why the tests are written with assertions and not using Boost.Test? Is it a dependency problem or?
Those test were inherited from Boost.Interprocess and when trying Boost.Test back in 2005 I found it too heavyweight for the kind of tests I needed, specially when using the debugger. It could an old problem with my IDE installation but I never looked back. After some years I've slowly started porting some tests from my libraries (maybe not Container, I can't remember) to Core's lightweight_test which I is dependecy-free, fast and enough for most needs: http://www.boost.org/boost/core/lightweight_test.hpp Is lightweight test acceptable for GSOC? Best, Ion
