I've looked through the Boost.Test source, and
I /think/ that Boost.Test does not need to
be built with /EHa.
/EHa has two effects:
a) catch(...) will handle SEH exceptions. Boost.Test
uses __try/__except, so this shouldn't matter.
b) SEH exceptions will unwind the stack properly.
As far as I can tell, Boost.Test itself doesn't
put anything critical on the stack before calling
into user code.
