In the project with large number of test modules <a class="link" href="dynamic-lib-variant.html" title="The dynamic library variant of the UTF">the static
|
|
library</a> variant of the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> may cause you to waste a lot of disk space, since the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> is linked
|
|
statically with every test module. The solution is to link with the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> built into a dynamic library. If you opt
|
|
to link a test module with the prebuilt dynamic library, this usage is called the dynamic library variant of the
|
|
<acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym>. This variant requires you to define the flag <a class="xref" href="../../compilation.html#utf.flag.dyn-link">BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK</a>
|
|
either in a makefile or before the header <code class="filename">boost/test/unit_test.hpp</code>
|
|
inclusion.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="first-line-indented">
|
|
The test runner supplied with this variant requires you to implement the <a class="link" href="../glossary.html#test-module.def">test
|
|
module</a> initialization function that matches the alternative initialization function signature. The <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym>
|
|
provides an ability to <a class="link" href="../initialization.html#utf.user-guide.initialization.auto-generation" title="Automated generation of the test module initialization function">automatically generate</a>
|
|
an empty test module initialization function with correct signature if no custom initialization is required by a
|
|
test module.
