[Cppunit-devel] autogeneration of registration code

[Noel Y. <Noe...@mo...>]

I'm writing a script (in Python) that, given a file whose content is:

#ifndef AoeuTest_H
#define AoeuTest_H

#include <boost/utility.hpp>
#include <cppunit/TestFixture.h>

namespace aoeu
{
   class AoeuTest:
     public CppUnit::TestFixture,
     private boost::noncopyable
   {
     public: void test0();
     public: void test1();
   };
}

#endif


will output:

#include "AoeuTest.H"

#include <cppunit/TestCaller.h>
#include <cppunit/TestSuite.h>
#include <cppunit/extensions/TestFactoryRegistry.h>
#include <memory>
#include <MSBase/MSSingleton.H>

using namespace aoeu;

namespace
{
   class _TestFactory:
     public CppUnit::TestFactory
   {
     public: virtual CppUnit::Test* makeTest();
   };

   CppUnit::Test*
   _TestFactory::makeTest()
   {
     std::auto_ptr< CppUnit::TestSuite > result(
       new CppUnit::TestSuite( "AoeuTest" ) );

     result->addTest(
       new CppUnit::TestCaller< AoeuTest >(
         "aoeu::AoeuTest::test0()",
         &AoeuTest::test0 ) );
     result->addTest(
       new CppUnit::TestCaller< AoeuTest >(
         "aoeu::AoeuTest::test1()",
         &AoeuTest::test1 ) );

     return result.release();
   }
}

namespace
{
   bool _registerFactory();

   bool _factoryRegistration = ::_registerFactory();

   bool _registerFactory()
   {
     CppUnit::TestFactoryRegistry::getRegistry().registerFactory( &MSSingleton< ::_TestFactory >::instance() );
     CppUnit::TestFactoryRegistry::getRegistry( "aoeu::AoeuTest" ).registerFactory( &MSSingleton< ::_TestFactory >::instance() );

     return true;
   }
}


Would such a script be helpful to the CppUnit project in general?

Thanks,
Noel
