The example, unit_test_example2.cpp, demonstrates the detection of a
timeout...
void infinite_loop()
{
// unit test framework can break infinite loops by timeout
#ifdef __unix // don't have timeout on other platforms
BOOST_CHECKPOINT("About to enter an infinite loop!");
while(1);
#else
BOOST_MESSAGE( "Timeout support is not implemented on your platform"
);
#endif
}
In my tests, I'd rather not have #ifdef __unix all over the place. Is
is possible to add a macro in the Test framework itself that can be
checked (on the off chance that timeout support is expanded)?
