Version 3.0.0

Claus Dræby — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 19:57:49 -0000

The 3.0.0 version (which is slightly backwards incompatible) represents several years of minor improvements stemming from the use of unit++ in a major project at work.

To improve usability some the macro track started in the 2 series has been finished and new easy to use macros handles normal member function test cases as well as exception generating member function cases.

The html documentation has disappeared, since doc++ has vanished from my world---one day I will set up doxygen properly, but not today.

A rather nasty bug has been fixed as well, that could cause the text suite to crash if the operator<< for values used in assert_eq were rendered invalid by leaving the body of the test function. It caused me quite a lot of headache, and I hope this will spare the rest of you that pain ;)

And remember: we need software that is really good, and that means unit tested!

cmake support

Thanks to Clive Crous I have obtained a CMakeLists.txt for using cmake to generate makefile for the unit++ project.

Clive tells that he has generated unit++ for MinGW and linux, so this might help other people out there.

Thank you, Clive :)

file:line error reports

This feature was requested in the project I'm working at, since we use unit++ from inside vim.

The new feature allows the failed assertions to be interpreted by the IDE, hence to capture and use failed test for lists or placing the cursor.

Unfortunately this had to use preprocessor macros. This has forced some incompatibilities with the previous release:
1) fail() has changed to assert_fail()
2) assert_true and assert_eq might wreck havoc, if they have been used as names for something else, where unit++.h is included.

Visual Studio Support

Lews Therin has provided the workings for VS 2003: a project file.

I have included it, but I have no way of testing it.

Unit++ as debian package

Claus Dræby — Wed, 28 Apr 2004 07:11:42 -0000

Some of the nice guys at debian (martin f krafft) has made debian packages out of Unit++.

Hence debian users can install the unit++ library with:
apt-get install -t unstable libunit++-dev
and the doc (/usr/share/docs/libunit++-doc/html):
apt-get install -t unstable libunit++-doc

Thanks,
Azhrarn

Rel 1.2.3 available

As pointed out by Carlo Wood (thanks for the patch) it was difficult to write local test runners due to the oversight that some of the header where not released.

That has now been remedied.

Furthermore I made a slight improvement to the Qt autoconf macro allowing it to configure with my Debian Qt3 version. And the GUI actually works with Qt3 `-)

Without a clue on how to unit++?

From Mats Wolpers I have received a fine tale of how it was uning unit++ when every aspect of C++ was fresh and new. It might prove a good place to start if other novices are undertaking the endeavour to teach thenselves C++ accompanied by responsible use of unit tests. Thanks a lot Mats.

Given up on VC++ 6.0

Claus Dræby — Tue, 07 Jan 2003 21:16:09 -0000

I have given up compiling unit++ on VC++ 6.0.

The apparent errors are fixable (by refraining from using for_each), but using a test suite triggers an internal error in the compiler. It looks like problems resolving the exception handling core needed from a blok with some temporary testcase objects.

This is not to my liking, I hate giving up, but I have no further insight to offer.

Best regards,
Azhrarn

Pretty stable (minor fix)

Claus Dræby — Tue, 24 Sep 2002 22:44:24 -0000

The code have been working now for half a year without complaints, except one: The exit codes true/false was swapped.

The bug fix has now finally been released...

Version 1.2

Claus Dræby — Sat, 23 Feb 2002 22:14:52 -0000

ASdded GUI (Qt based); incorporated some port fixes from several guys, see the change log; thanks to the contributors!
