Is it possible to use BOOST_PARAM_TEST_CASE with automatic registration on boost::test?

Question

Is it possible to mix up the BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE and BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE macros with the BOOST_PARAM_TEST_CASE in any way? I\'m

Answer 1

The solution provided by @Omnifarious works works, but requires a C++11 compiler.

Adapting that solution for a C++03 compiler:

#include 
#include 

#define BOOST_FIXTURE_PARAM_TEST_CASE( test_name, F, P, mbegin, mend )  \
struct test_name : public F                                             \
{                                                                       \
    typedef P param_t;                                                  \
    void test_method(const param_t &);                                  \
};                                                                      \
                                                                        \
void BOOST_AUTO_TC_INVOKER( test_name )(const test_name::param_t ¶m) \
{                                                                       \
    test_name t;                                                        \
    t.test_method(param);                                               \
}                                                                       \
                                                                        \
BOOST_AUTO_TU_REGISTRAR( test_name )(                                   \
    boost::unit_test::make_test_case(                                   \
       &BOOST_AUTO_TC_INVOKER( test_name ), #test_name,                 \
       (mbegin), (mend)));                                              \
                                                                        \
void test_name::test_method(const param_t ¶m)                       \

// *******

#define BOOST_AUTO_PARAM_TEST_CASE( test_name, param_type, mbegin, mend )           \
   BOOST_FIXTURE_PARAM_TEST_CASE( test_name,                            \
                                  BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_FIXTURE,         \
                                  param_type,                           \
                                  mbegin, mend)

This solution is slightly different is usage. Since there is no declspec in C++03, the type of the parameter object cannot be automatically deduced. We must pass it in as a parameter to BOOST_AUTO_PARAM_TEST_CASE:

class FooTestParam                           
{    
public:                        
    std::string mS;    

    FooTestParam (int n)    
    {            
        std::stringstream ss;    
        ss << n;         
        mS = ss.str();                            
    }    
};         

FooTestParam fooParams [] =    
{         
    FooTestParam (42),    
    FooTestParam (314)    
};           

BOOST_AUTO_PARAM_TEST_CASE (TestFoo, FooTestParam, fooParams, fooParams + 2)        
{                                                                                   
    const std::string testVal = param.mS;                                           
}                                                                                   

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE (TestAddressField)                                             
{                                                                                   
    const uint32_t raw = 0x0100007f;    // 127.0.0.1                                
    const uint8_t expected[4] = {127, 0, 0, 1};                                     
    const Mdi::AddressField& field = *reinterpret_cast  (&raw);    
    for (size_t i = 0; i < 4; ++i)                                                  
        BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL (field[i], expected[i]);                                  
}
