[Cppunit-devel] Orthodoxy tests and operator!

[Tredinnick, J. <jac...@me...>]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if anyone has come across this, but here goes ...

I thought it would be a good idea to save a bit of time by using the
Orthodox class,  however I was surprised to see that operator! was required
to use this?
Personally, I hardly ever write a class with operator!, but quite often have
the rest of the stuff in the Orthodox::runTest() - in fact I usually don't
bother with operator!= either.

Anyway, I ended up writing some global methods in Orthodox.h that
concentrate more on =, == and <.
Please find these in the attached file.

This time, the client has to specify three non-default class objects a<b<c.
The test goes some way towards checking for "total ordering" with operator<.
E.g. that a < c and such, - which you need for associative STL containers,
unless you specify a comparator.

Please add it somewhere sensible if you think it'll be useful (BTW - I also
have a TestCase for this, written for my slightly hacked version of 1.7.2 -
let me know if you want this too).

Regards
