• Derek Parnell (12/18) May 14 2005 No, I don't think so.
• Sebastian Beschke (3/11) May 14 2005 Yeah, that sounds OK. Thanks :)
• Brian White (7/11) May 16 2005 What I do is, after building the library, is link all of the .o files

Hi,

I'm still having problems understanding how unit tests work.
I'm trying to incorporate unit tests into a library. Is there any way to 
create an executable that runs the unit tests, without linking an extra 
main() function in? I haven't yet found a way to do this.

Thanks,
Sebastian

No, I don't think so. 

You might try something like this ...

  version(mytest)
  {
   void main(){}
  }

then compile the library with -version=mytest -unittest

What I do is, after building the library, is link all of the .o files 
along with "testmain.o".  That creates a standard library and also an 
executable to run the unit tests.
