[Cppunit-devel] Improvement suggestion for "post_build_check" example

[Bachmann, P. <bac...@im...>]

Dear Developers of CppUnit,

I've discovered a very small flaw with your example
<http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/doc/lastest/cppunit_cookbook.html#post_b
uild_check>:
In my opinion you have to translate the return value e.g. as follows:

#include <cstdlib>
...

int main() {
  TextTestRunner runner;
  ...
  return runner.run() ? EXIT_SUCCESS : EXIT_FAILURE;
}

The point is, that "runner.run()" returns "true" on success, but
"EXIT_SUCCESS" is "0" on many systems, so the calling shell will
interpret the test run to have failed, if you pass the return value
verbatim.

Cheers,
Philipp.
