CHEAT is a minimal testing framework which tries to avoid making you write anything more than your tests.
To use it, you simply #include "cheat.h". If you're not using GCC, you may
need this guard:
#ifndef __BASE_FILE__
#define __BASE_FILE__ __FILE__
#endif
Tests are defined with the TEST macro. You may also use the GLOBALS,
SET_UP and TEAR_DOWN macros to centralize your initializations.
There are additional helpers in the cheat_helpers.h file, which provide
stuff to help you test some harder to test stuff.
When you compile your test file, you get a complete executable. It shows a pretty progress bar thingie and all.
By default, it runs each test in an isolated subprocess (tested, so far, in
Windows and Linux), so all tests still run, even if one segfaults. You can
specify the --nofork flag, to make it run everything in the same process, if
you need to.
Because abusing systems for hackish results is fun. This was an exercise in how far I could push the C preprocessor to build a "framework" with a simple syntax for the user.
It's not meant for serious work, and it's easy to run into issues (do report them and send patches!), but if it works for you, more power to you!
If cheat.h is placed in a global include directory (like, say /usr/include),
and __BASE_FILE__ is a relative path, CHEAT won't work. Put cheat.h in your
project directory.
