Re: unit testing C++ code from perl

I owe Noel a review. Naturally, he used my TEST() macro (which I got from
CppUnitLite), but it doesn't have the ability to inherit suites, hence to
setUp or tearDown.

My bad - I didn't see TEST_FIXTURE() yet. The system appears to use a
fixture's constructor and destructor as setUp and tearDown, which has a
few reasons to be the correct idiom in C++.

Someone suggested I post this to their mailing list. I will if my search
for one more specific technical problem succeeds.

Nope - they passed my test. The equivalent of setUp() and tearDown() call
just before the test case runs. A more naive implementation of the TEST()
macro would call them before and after main().

However, the fact that this is *generally* the best way doesn't exclude the fact that there are *exceptions* when it makes sense to setUp and tearDown not for every test, e.g. when it is absolutely sure that the fixture cannot be destroyed by the individual tests or when creating the fixture takes too much time. ...
