[dwm] C unit testing
Hi, I just wanted to ask you guys if you could recommend me a tool to unit test my C code. So far I only found CUnit, Check and CuTest but haven't dug into any of them. Do you have any suggestions? bye richi -- quoting guide: http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/documents/quotingguide.html pgp8k9YVvRA6B.pgp Description: PGP signature

Do you have any suggestions? #include assert.h i see two immediate problems with assert: 1) one may want a message per failed test (to have a list) instead of abort 2) eg. equality checks are very common, but with assert assert(x == y important eq check) the values of x,y are not shown in case of failure (which are important for understanding what went wrong) one can easily define helper macros like print_assert(condition) eq_assert(x, y, message) ... i'm not sure whether it is convenient to use or not. unfortunately there are many special cases, like the eq_assert, when it is possible to print useful additional messages without repetitive printfs and most test frameworks exploit these situations to provide a more complete tool, but they are difficult to use in my experience.
