Package: libboost-test-dev
Version: 1.33.1-10
Severity: wishlist
When using boost::test's auto unit test capabilities, boost itself
generates the main function, and accepts a bunch of different options,
such as --show_progress, --build_info, etc, as detailed at:
http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/utf/parameters/index.html
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to get this list of arguments from
the program itself, so you always need to keep the documentation up if
you want to mess with any of these options.
To make this easier, please support a --help option that simply lists
the set of valid arguments. This would be convienent for users, and also
would better follow standards.
