<H2>2. Writing CUnit Test Cases</H2>
<H3 ID="tests">2.1. Test Functions</H3>
A CUnit "test" is a C function having the signature:<BR /><BR />
<B><I>void test_func(void)</I></B>
<P />
There are no restrictions on the content of a test function, except
that it should not modify the CUnit framework (e.g. add suites or tests,
modify the test registry, or initiate a test run). A test function may
call other functions (which also may not modify the framework).
Registering a test will cause its function to be run when the
test is run.
<P />
An example test function for a routine that returns the maximum of 2
integers might look like:
<PRE><CODE>
int maxi(int i1, int i2)
{
return (i1 > i2) ? i1 : i2;
}
void test_maxi(void)
{
CU_ASSERT(maxi(0,2) == 2);
CU_ASSERT(maxi(0,-2) == 0);
CU_ASSERT(maxi(2,2) == 2);
}
</CODE></PRE>
<H3 ID="assertions">2.2. CUnit Assertions</H3>
CUnit provides a set of assertions for testing logical conditions. The
success or failure of these assertions is tracked by the framework,
and can be viewed when a test run is complete.
<P />
Each assertion tests a single logical condition, and fails if the
condition evaluates to <CODE>CU_FALSE</CODE>. Upon failure, the test
function continues unless the user chooses the 'xxx_FATAL' version
of an assertion. In that case, the test function is aborted and
returns immediately. <B>FATAL versions of assertions should be used
with caution!</B> There is no opportunity for the test function to
clean up after itself once a FATAL assertion fails. The normal
<A HREF="managing_tests.html#addsuite">suite cleanup function</A> is
not affected, however.
<P />
There are also special "assertions" for registering a
<A HREF="#pass">pass</A> or <A HREF="#fail">fail</A> with the framework
without performing a logical test. These are useful for testing flow
of control or other conditions not requiring a logical test:
<PRE><CODE>
void test_longjmp(void)
{
jmp_buf buf;
int i;
i = setjmp(buf);
if (i == 0) {
run_other_func();
CU_PASS("run_other_func() succeeded.");
}
else
CU_FAIL("run_other_func() issued longjmp.");
}
</CODE></PRE>
<P />
Other functions called by a registered test function may use the CUnit
assertions freely. These assertions will be counted for the calling
function. They may also use FATAL versions of assertions - failure
will abort the original test function and its entire call chain.
<P />
The assertions defined by CUnit are:

The following assertions are deprecated as of version 2. To use these assertions,

Note that they behave the same as in version 1 (issue a 'return' statement
upon failure).
