$ cat boost-check-close.cpp
#include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp>

int main( int, char* [] ) {
    double v1 = 1.23456e-10;
    double v2 = 1.23457e-10;

    BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE( v1, v2, 0.0001 );
    // Absolute value of difference between these two values is 1e-15.
They seems
    // to be very close. But we want to checks that these values
differ no more then 0.0001%
    // of their value. And this test will fail at tolerance supplied.

    return 0;
}
$ g++ -c boost-check-close.cpp
boost-check-close.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
