Re: [boost] doctest - the lightest feature rich C++ single header testing framework - if it can enter boost and if it/boost will benefit from that

Ah, okay thanks for the detailed reply. I see what you mean now, and you're right those things are not possible without macros and I can see where they are useful in some situations. My experience over the last 5 or so years is that I write the test and get it working and after that, I don't see a failure for months or years. If there is a failure I just set a breakpoint. So I have not invested much in terms of features such as reporting the file and line number.
