Can I use BOOST_TEST_CASE for non-static class member function?

I am now using BOOST::UNIT_TEST framework to perform unit test, and it is a great tool to perform unit test. However, I found something inconvenient: when I add functions to test, it seems that the functions must be static or a free function as the following codes illustrate:

test_suite* ts = BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "unit_test" );

ts->add(BOOST_TEST_CASE(&static_fun));

When it is not a static function, for example,

class Abc
{
  public:
    void myfun();

};

Abc obj;
ts->add(BOOST_TEST_CASE(&(obj.myfun)));

then, I will have C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 0 arguments error. Any idea that I can add the non-static class member function to the test framework? Thanks

Solution

  • You should look here You can use boost::bind for this case.

    ts->add(BOOST_TEST_CASE(boost::bind(&Abc::myfun, obj)));
