Using Boost.Test is not a requirement AFAIK.
No - but it is very popular and well understood, and simple to use for simple cases, and works well with the suite of testers on the many platforms. I can't think of any reason why not to use it. Perhaps a few simple loopback tests are all the is really essential? (I note, with approval, that lots of potential 'naughty' abuses are already caught by assert compile-time checks in the code). And some examples already exist, but a one or two really simple ones would be desirable too. The latter could be referenced from the Quickbook text as snippets of code. Paul PS I will reply privately about prototype docs. --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
