1 Overview of the package

This document describes version 0.4.1-devel.1 of CCTests, a C11 language library implementing a framework to organise test suites. The library targets POSIX platforms.

This package depends upon the external packages: CCExceptions at least version 0.9.0; This package relies on pkg-config to find the dependency packages installed on the system.

CCTests installs the single header file cctests.h. All the function names in the API are prefixed with cctests_; all the preprocessor symbol names are prefixed with CCTESTS_; all the type names are prefixed with cctests_ and suffixed with _t. The header file cctests.h appropriately includes the header file ccexceptions.h from the package CCExceptions.

The library’s API uses both inline functions and preprocessor macros to integrate some common operations at the call site.

Notice that, before using the library, we need to call the global initialisation function cctests_init().

IMPORTANT To use the library we must enable the POSIX features when including the standard header files; so either we include cctests.h as first header, or we include the following definitions before including all the header files:

#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE         200809L
