Hello all,

I would like to write couple of unit tests, because I think ipmitool would
really made use of some. However in one talk I've heard urge not to write
own unit-test framework, or something like that, I think. Hence I'm
wondering whether it is going to be enough if these unit tests are going to
be simple C-code "snippets" or whether some unit test framework should be
utilized? In case of latter I'm afraid of problems with license and what
not, so I would vote for simple C-code snippets.

~~~ SNIP
#<...includes...>

int
main()
{
  // declarations
  if ( (rc = some_function()) ) {
    printf("FAIL: some_function: Got %s, expected %s", rc, expected);
  } else {
    printf("PASS: some_function: Got %s, expected %s", rc, expected);
  }
  /* and so on so forth */
}
~~~ SNIP

or something like that is what I have in mind.And place these under
'./src/tests' or just './tests'.

Even though I'm sure it is a crappy solution, I think it is better than
none. I'm also open to any other ideas.

Jim, can I rely on you these will get committed into CVS?

Thanks,
Duncan
