Boost.Test check whether a pointer is null

Question

I have the following test :

BOOST_CHECK_NE(pointer, nullptr);

The compilation fails due to

/xxx/include/boost/test

Answer 1

As mentioned in error message, nullptr has ambiguous overloads.

BOOST_CHECK(pointer);

or

BOOST_CHECK_NE(pointer, static_cast(nullptr));

should do the job.
