TestObserver(
    std::ostream* stream,

----

== Description

Create a test observer having a unique integer identifier, whose `publish` method will print diagnostic information (if any) to the specified `stream`. Optionally specify a `basicAllocator` used to supply memory. If `basicAllocator` is 0, the currently installed default allocator is used. By default, this observer prints nothing to `stream`. Note that the `setVerbose` method can affect this default behavior.
