[Cppunit-devel] CppUnit

[Pratt, N. <np...@mi...>]

Hi
 
We use CppUnit 1.5 in house for NT unit testing. We made some alterations to
it, and I was wondering if you want the diffs in case you wish to add them
into CppUnit 1.6.x (some of the alterations, you may have already
added/fixed)
 
The main ones:
 
+ Renamed assert() to TestAssert() so as not to conflict with <assert.h> -
nothing major, but it was a pain in the ass.
+ Production code DLLs are now loaded dynamically, so you dont have to
relink the HostApp everytime you touch a production code DLL. This
alteration was not a nice one, but it worked. (You can see for yourself). Im
not sure of a nice, cross platform way to do this.
+ When you shut the HostApp down via the Close button, the MFC "Untitled"
window no longer pops up.
+ Added a command line parameter which, if specified, causes only that
production code DLL to be loaded. Not really an issue with only a few DLLs
in a directory, but when you have a product with several hundred, loading up
HostApp could take a long time.
+ Fixed some issues that Numega Boundschecker was complaining about in a
release build.
 
Removal of the need to use standard C++ RTTI would be a great benefit since
not all platforms/compilers support it, and does add runtime overhead. I
noticed something in the Changelog about RTTI and some macros, but I need to
look into the new docs further to see if you have already done this.
 
 
Great idea everyone, Ill be porting our stuff from 1.5 --> 1.6.x today.
