c++ - How to combine boost::range with BOOST_<level>_EQUAL_COLLECTION? -

is possible combine boost__equal_collection boost::range such can simplify:

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>  std::vector<int> mysort(std::vector<int>); ...  auto lhs = mysort({ 11, 7, 5, 3, 2 }); const std::vector<int> rhs = { 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 };  boost_check_equal_collections(lhs.begin(), lhs.end(), rhs.begin(), rhs.end()); 

to like

boost_check_equal_collections(mysort({ 11, 7, 5, 3, 2 }), { 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 }); 

apart being less verbose, see additional benefit of more useful warning, reads:

error in "foo": check { lhs.begin(), lhs.end() } == { rhs.begin(), rhs.end() } failed. 

which not useful.

i'm afraid boost::range won't here. problem how boost_check_equal_collections defined.

you can define macro yourself:

#define collections_check_equal(a, b) boost_check_equal_collections(std::begin(a), std::end(a), std::begin(b), std::end(b)) 

and use as:

collections_check_equal(mysort(std::vector<int>{ 11, 7, 5, 3, 2 }), std::vector<int>{ 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 });
