[Cppunit-devel] Weffc++ warnings on cppunit 1.10.2

[CppUnit d. m. l. <cpp...@li...>]

Hi there!

My name is Marcel Winandy. I am working with the EMSCB project, where we use 
cppunit to implement and perform our unit tests. We noticed that there are 
several warnings with cppunit when using GCC with -Weffc++ warnings 
activated.

I have patched cppunit 1.10.2 to be compliant to the -Weffc++ GCC compiler 
warnings (warnings according to "Effective C++" books by Scott Meyers). 

The patch contains some minor changes to several classes. Mainly, this often 
results in using the constructor list instead of assignments within the 
constructor, disallowing copy construction or assignment operator or 
explicitly defining them (in order to avoid semantics problems in case a 
pointer data member exists), etc. Being compliant to Weffc++ warnings often 
helps to avoid later problems. See books by Scott Meyers for more details.

I would like to contribute this patch to your project and just want to ask 
where to post the patch. Is it OK to post it on this list?

Kind regards
 Marcel Winandy
