Conversion Warning with GCC15 when using operator<< within custom failure message and -WConversion #448

Description

@induras

Starting with GCC15 ( when using -WConversion ) I get conversion warnings when using stream operator in custom failure messages.

Example code from the docs also produces those warnings:

Boost Test

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE boost_test_message
#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test_message )
{
  const int a(1), b(2);
  BOOST_TEST(a == b, "a should be equal to b: " << a << "!=" << b);
  BOOST_TEST(a != 10, "value of a=" << a);
}
