14.3    Boost.Test

Let's dive right in and look at a program we want to test. The framework we are using here is Boost.Test.

Installing Boost.Test

You can download Boost as a complete package from the Boost website at http://www.boost.org/users/download. For Windows and MSVC, there are precompiled libraries available. On Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install libboost-dev installs the complete library. Other distributions have a corresponding package. It is not sufficient to install only the sublibrary of the test framework as it also uses other parts of Boost.

The following listing shows a free function that you just wrote.

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
