During development, this is a valuable time-saver: instead of compiling twice, once with -unittest and once without, then running each individually, it helps to have unittests run before main() so that any regressions are immediately noticed, and if unittests pass, then main() runs and manual testing can proceed. Obviously, for release builds unittests are useless, so in that case there's no need to include unittests before running main(). > I personally compile with -unittest to make sure all my unittests > pass, then recompile without the -unittest flag if I actually want to > run the program.

Lots of time is wasted if you have to compile twice, once with -unittest and once without, while you're in the code-compile-test cycle and need to run main() for manual testing.

Starting app with unittests while develop - frequent event for me. Releasing app - rare event for me. I want do frequent action without efforts (just start and see all ok - unitests and main), and can do rare action (release) with some efforts (compile with other switches).

App will be used by other peoples,
and i will release it after developing without unittests.
Release is rare action for me.
Running while developing is frequent action.
I want see is all ok - unittests and main{} - for every test run
while develop whithout special efforts from me.
Then release with some efforts (compile without "-unittest", with
"-release" switch etc).

This way, time isn't wasted running unittests every time the program is run.
