newbie question

[Honza Fedak]

hi,

I am sorry for the primitive question but I want to ask how to set up a very primitive test suite. I am able to make a test suite based on HostApp but I can't believe this is the easiest way.

I would expect that I am able to create a test suite let's say as a DLL that I just load into some external program and it will run the tests for me.

I really don't want to have all of the code of HostApp with every test suite that I write.

Any comment is welcome. Thank you, Jan

In Visual Studio I just declare a dialog based MFC-application. Then I remove the resources, dialogs, stdafx and related stuff and boil the main cpp-file down to (see below). Thus I'm left with only one file from the wizard generated framework . Then ofcourse you also need these libs for linking:
cppunit(d).lib testrunner(d).lib

hope this helps,
Wolfgang

#include "afxwin.h"
#include <msvc6/testrunner/TestRunner.h>
#include <cppunit/extensions/TestFactoryRegistry.h>

class CUnitsApp : public CWinApp
{
public:
   CUnitsApp() {}

    //{{AFX_VIRTUAL(CUnitsApp)
    virtual BOOL InitInstance();
    //}}AFX_VIRTUAL
};

CUnitsApp theApp;

static void RunTestRunner()
{
  TestRunner runner;
  runner.addTest( CppUnit::TestFactoryRegistry::getRegistry().makeTest() );
  runner.run();
}

BOOL CUnitsApp::InitInstance()
{
   RunTestRunner();
   return FALSE;
}

thaks for your example. it works.
but i detect some memory leaks on it.

is there anyone who solves this problem? :)
