Re: [boost] [Boost-users] Interest in a C++20 Unit Testing Framework?

So again what is the benefit of standardization?

IMHO, there is always a benefit of standardization best/common practices because * It lowers the entry-level to the language (no need for third-party libraries) * It improves the education aspect (one standard way of doing it) * It makes the language more coherent/stable (consistent design with other features, stable API) * It makes the feature a first class citizen (shows that the community cares about this aspect of the language) to name a few...

When adapted into your project, not much. But as far as getting there, a lot. In some projects, a lot more than you may believe, even for a unit test tool.

This doesn't answer the question.

Here's an example of how the question might be answered for a popular Boost library, Boost.Asio:

"C++ benefits from standardized networking, because having common vocabulary types and named requirements allows libraries written against standardized networking components to interoperate."

The same cannot be said for unit test libraries, since those types don't appear in public interfaces. So again what is the benefit of standardization?

Thanks
