[Cppunit-devel] Not equals test

[Duane M. <du...@us...>]

I couldnt find an equivalent to CPPUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_EQUAL. That is
checking to make sure that some value was NOT some other value. I found
this useful in checking error conditions where you want to make sure that
the normal non-error condition is NOT returned. Pretty much any other
error is fine.

If there is a technique for doing this, please let me know.

In light of not finding something I added this macro which might be a
useful addition to CppUnit. (This should look very familiar. I think I
changed two characters :-):

namespace CppUnit
{
	namespace TestAssert
	{
	    template <class T>
	    void assertNotEqual( const T& expected,
	                       const T& actual,
	                       long lineNumber = Exception::UNKNOWNLINENUMBER,
	                       std::string fileName = Exception::UNKNOWNFILENAME )
	    {
	      if ( assertion_traits<T>::equal(expected,actual) ) // lazy
toString conversion...
	      {
	        assertNotEqualImplementation(
assertion_traits<T>::toString(expected),
	                                      assertion_traits<T>::toString(actual),
	                                      lineNumber, 
	                                      fileName );
	      }
	    }
	}
#define CPPUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_EQUAL(expected,actual)\
  (CppUnit::TestAssert::assertNotEqual ((expected),\
    (actual),__LINE__,__FILE__))
}
