RE: [Cppunit-devel] CppUnit and multi-threading

[Tzanev, S. <Ste...@re...>]

Hi Baptiste,
Thank you for the prompt response.
I was trying to do (2) - a test suite with two threads. I'm work on a
socket application which acts both as a server and as a client. For this
purpose the test harness has to have a primary thread (from which the
client calls, like connect, send, recv and disconnect are made) and a
secondary thread for the listener (for calls like bind, listen, accept,
send and recv). I was hoping that I should be able to have only one
TestRunner and that CppUnit would handle under the hood the exceptions
that were thrown (via CPPUNIT_ASSERT and the like) from the secondary
thread. As this is not the case and because I am lazy enough not to rush
into creating a special mechanism for exception propagation between the
threads I used the following workaround:
I use named registries and a separate TestRunner for each thread. It
works fine. The only disadvantage is that two sets of results are
reported. But that's not a big deal.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Stefan

TestFactoryRegistry is not thread-safe, but you can easily wrap it to
make it so.

CppUnit is thread-safe, which the exception of the TypeInfoHelper which
use a static variable (but it should be initialized at when registering
the test factory, so it is probably ok).

What exactly are you trying to multithread ?=20
1) running multiple test case at the same time, using multiple test
result ?
2) a test case which multiple thread ?
3) ???

Dear Sirs,
I'm using CppUnit for a first time and I have problems testing a
multithreaded system.
Should I create a separate TestFixture (suite) for each thread or is
there a=20
different approach? That is, does CppUnit support multi-threading?
Is it possible to use TestFactoryRegistry in a multi-threaded
environment?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
