These tools are used to perform an exception detection and validation check. Tools execute the supplied expression
and validate that it throws an exception of supplied class (or the one derived from it) that complies with the
supplied predicate. If the expression throws any other unrelated exception, doesn't throw at all or
predicate evaluates to false, check fails. In comparison with <a href="#" onclick="id298906 = select_form_page( 'utf.testing-tools.reference.body.BOOST_&lt;level&gt;_THROW', id298906 ); return false;">BOOST_&lt;level&gt;_THROW</a> tools these

These are generic tools used to validate an arbitrary supplied predicate functor (there is a compile time limit on
predicate arity defined by the configurable macro <code class="computeroutput">BOOST_TEST_MAX_PREDICATE_ARITY</code>). To
validate zero arity predicate use <a href="#" onclick="id298906 = select_form_page( 'utf.testing-tools.reference.body.BOOST_&lt;level&gt;', id298906 ); return false;">BOOST_&lt;level&gt;</a> tools. In other cases prefer theses tools. The
advantage of these tools is that they show arguments values in case of predicate failure.

The first parameter is the predicate itself. The second parameter is the list of predicate arguments each wrapped
in round brackets (BOOST_PP sequence format).

These tools are used to perform an exception detection check. Tools execute the supplied expression and validate
that it throws an exception of supplied class (or the one derived from it) or it's child. If the statement
throws any other unrelated exception or doesn't throw at all, check fails.
</p>

If check is successful, the tool produces a confirmation message, in other case it produces an error message in a
