[Cppunit-devel] Checking for equality of C strings

[Dave G. <dg...@hy...>]

If I try to do something like this:

    const char *sample = "Sample String";

    char copy[16];
    strcpy(copy, sample);
    CPPUNIT_ASSERT_EQUAL_MESSAGE("Identical strings are not equal",
                                 (const char *)copy, sample);

I end up getting an assertion like this:

    charcompare.cpp:15:Assertion
    Test name: CharCompare::testCompare
    equality assertion failed
    - Expected: Sample String
    - Actual  : Sample String
    - Identical strings are not equal

Is there a variant of CPPUNIT_ASSERT_EQUAL macro which can compare
C strings?  Extra points if it can compare a 'char[]' and a 'char *'!
