| Sometimes we need to call a function and make sure that no user or system originated exceptions are being thrown |
| by it. Uniform exception reporting is also may be convenient. That's the purpose of the Boost.Test's |
| <em class="firstterm">Execution Monitor</em>. |
| </p> |
| <p class="first-line-indented"> |
| The Execution Monitor is a lower-level component of the Boost Test Library. It is the base for implementing all |
| other Boost.Test components, but also can be used standalone to get controlled execution of error-prone functions |
| with a uniform error notification. The Execution Monitor calls a user-supplied function in a controlled |
| environment, relieving users from messy error detection. |
| </p> |
| <p class="first-line-indented"> |
| The Execution Monitor usage is demonstrated in the example exec_mon_example . Additional examples are |
| in <a class="xref" href="prg-exec-monitor.html" title="Part II. Boost Test Library: The Program Execution Monitor">Part II, “The Program Execution Monitor”</a> or <a class="xref" href="utf.html" title="Part IV. Boost Test Library: The Unit Test Framework">Part IV, “The Unit Test Framework”</a>. |

| <a name="execution-monitor.design"></a>Design Rationale</h4></div></div></div> |
| <p class="first-line-indented"> |
| The Execution Monitor design assumes that it can be used when no (or almost no) memory available. Also the |
| Execution Monitor is intended to be portable to as many platforms as possible. |
