Pop-ups when running Bjam under Windows

[Robert Ramey]

All of a sudden, when I run bjam on my own Windows/XP system, I'm getting
Pop dialog boxes when a test fails.  This never happened before and I can't
imagine what I might have changed to provoke this behavior.  I think I've
seen people mention it before but I never paid attention to it as I never
had the problem - til now.  What do I have to do to avoid this.  It hangs up
the execution of the whole test suite.

This might mean that Boost.Test do not catch system errors. Not sure how you
managed to get this.

I'm not running boost test when this happens.

What does the dialog box say, exactly?

I don't remember now.  I'll snag it next time.

Thinking about it some, I don't think it has anything to do with boost
build.

The change I made was to add some testing of DLLs to my test list.  I've
made some mistakes in this (import decl vs export decl, etc.) And this
provokes
runtime errors in certain tests.  I'm guessing that these are trapped not by
my test code, but something in windows itself which is why it might
be different than other expected behavior.

I'm still trying to fix the source of the problem.

I seem to remember that there was a very obscure variable affecting this
to be set in the registry.

I, too, find this behavior highly irritating and silly, especially when
running things from the command-line. Or worse, running things remotely
via ssh, so the admin will have to log in locally (say, if the machine
is in a datacenter), to close those pesky dialogs.
Ah well, that's just Windows....
