explicit bool conversion for c++11 streams breaks previously valid code #429

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
In C++11, the standard streams do not have an `operator void*()`, but have an 
`explicit operator bool()` instead. This change breaks code like:

    std::stringstream ss;
    ASSERT_TRUE(ss);

In the expansion of `ASSERT_TRUE`, an `AssertionResult` is constructed from 
`ss`. Since it expects a boolean but `ss` requires an explicit conversion, 
compilation fails. While this is not caused by GoogleTest but rather by a 
change in the standard, it might be desirable to provide a workaround. I'm just 
highlighting the issue.

Simply change  in

gtest-internal.h#1108

::testing::AssertionResult(expression))


to

::testing::AssertionResult(bool(expression)))
