[Cppunit-devel] CPPUnit Cookbook Bug

[Loh, C. W. <Cho...@au...>]

In the line,
      
#include <cppunit/extensions/HelperMacros.h >
CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_REGISTRATION( ComplexNumber );

Behind the scene, a static variable type of AutoRegisterSuite is declared.
On construction, it will register a TestSuiteFactory  into the
TestFactoryRegistry. The TestSuiteFactory returns the TestSuite returned by
ComplexNumber::suite(). 

should be corrected as (highlighted in bold) :-

#include <cppunit/extensions/HelperMacros.h >
CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_REGISTRATION( ComplexNumberTest );

Behind the scene, a static variable type of AutoRegisterSuite is declared.
On construction, it will register a TestSuiteFactory  into the

ComplexNumberTest::suite(). 

As a suggestion, you could improve the final example to use the other helper
macros as well :-

  CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_REGISTRATION( ComplexNumberTest );
  CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE( ComplexNumberTest );
  CPPUNIT_TEST( testEquality );
  CPPUNIT_TEST( testAddition );
  CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_END();
