CUnit Query

[gamename]

Hi,

Is there some way to have cunit do a printf() when an assertion
evaluates to false?

Example:

rc = foo()

CU_ASSERT( rc == 0, printf("ERROR: foo returned %d", rc);

The printf() doesn't necessariliy need to be associated in this way.
The aim is to trigger a diagnostic printout when an assertion "fires".

Thanks,
-T

Don't know CUnit ...

CU_ASSERT((rc == 0) ? 1 : (printf("ERROR: foo returned %d", rc), 0));

.... which is not particularly elegant.

The problem is that the argument type (e.g. rc) is different for each
CU_ASSERT so it is difficult to create a universal macro.

Good luck,

You would be best asking in a group or mailing list where cunit is
topical. There might be a "proper" way of doing it.

In terms of C you would probably have to get clever with the conditional
operator, but simple stuff with an if would be more readable.

This is a question about CUnit, not about the C programming language,
which is what we discuss here. Consult the CUnit documentation;
failing that, try a forum that discusses CUnit. (The CUnit home page
is <http://cunit.sourcefor ge.net/>; public forums are at
<http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=32992 >, but traffic is light.)

Fair enough.

Yeah, I noticed. The thing seems to be used all over the place. But
there isn't an obvious forum to discuss it. There are a few mentions
of it here in the archives, so I went that route.

Thanks anyway.

There are a few mentions of Islam in the archives of this group as well,
it does not make this the correct place to discus it.

Please don't quote peoples signatures, i.e. the bit just above this,
unless you are commenting on them.
