[Cppunit-devel] Feature request

[Carlo W. <ca...@al...>]

Hi, thanks for CppUnit.

Currently, a failure is printed like:

1) test: testEquality (F) line: 11 test.cc
 "libecc::bitset<30>("ABC") == libecc::bitset<30>("ABD")"

I'd to have more control about how this is printed
and would like to be able to override a virtual
method of test classes in order to change it.

My proposal is that the above is the default (although
I'd much prefer the default to say "test.cc:11" rather
than "11 test.cc" so that I can use copy&paste to
immedeately get where I want to be; "test.cc:11" is
the same format that is being used by gdb and libcwd).

Most logical is probably to write my own class, or to
derive my own class from a cppunit provided one, and
then being able to specify that this class/object
needs to be used to print the failures.

I leave the implementation details to you :).
Please let me know if this is already possible some how...
