Description-en: cross-platform C and C++ unit testing framework (development files)
Most test frameworks for C require a lot of boilerplate code to set up
tests and test suites -- you need to create a main, then register new test
suites, then register the tests within these suits, and finally call the
right functions.
.
This gives the user great control, at the unfortunate cost of simplicity.
.
Criterion follows the KISS principle, while keeping the control the user
would have with other frameworks:
.
* C99 and C++11 compatible.
* Tests are automatically registered when declared.
* Implements a xUnit framework structure.
* A default entry point is provided, no need to declare a main unless you
want to do special handling.
* Test are isolated in their own process, crashes and signals can be
reported and tested.
* Unified interface between C and C++: include the criterion header and it
just works.
* Supports parameterized tests and theories.
* Progress and statistics can be followed in real time with report hooks.
* TAP output format can be enabled with an option.
* Runs on Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows (Compiling with MinGW GCC
and Visual Studio 2015+).
.
This package contains the headers needed to compile other packages against
the criterion library
