a test framework

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
GLib provides a framework for writing and maintaining unit tests
in parallel to the code they are testing. The API is designed according 
to established concepts found in the other test frameworks (JUnit, NUnit, 
RUnit), which in turn is based on smalltalk unit testing concepts.
<variablelist>
  <varlistentry>
    <term>Test case</term>
    <listitem><para>
      Tests (test methods) are grouped together with their 
      fixture into test cases.
    </para></listitem>
  </varlistentry>
  <varlistentry>
    <term>Fixture</term>
    <listitem><para>
      A test fixture consists of fixture data and setup and teardown methods 
      to establish the environment for the test functions. We use fresh 
      fixtures, i.e. fixtures are newly set up and torn down around each test 
      invocation to avoid dependencies between tests.
    </para></listitem>
  </varlistentry>
  <varlistentry>
    <term>Test suite</term>
    <listitem><para>
      Test cases can be grouped into test suites, to allow subsets of the 
      available tests to be run. Test suites can be grouped into other test 
      suites as well.
    </para></listitem>
  </varlistentry>
</variablelist>
The API is designed to handle creation and registration of test suites and
test cases implicitly. A simple call like
<informalexample><programlisting>
  g_test_add_func ("/misc/assertions", test_assertions);
</programlisting></informalexample>
creates a test suite called "misc" with a single test case named "assertions",
which consists of running the test_assertions function.
</para>
<para>
In addition to the traditional g_assert(), the test framework provides
an extended set of assertions for string and numerical comparisons:
g_assert_cmpfloat(), g_assert_cmpint(), g_assert_cmpuint(), g_assert_cmphex(),
g_assert_cmpstr(). The advantage of these variants over plain g_assert()
is that the assertion messages can be more elaborate, and include the
values of the compared entities.
</para>
<para>
GLib ships with two utilities called gtester and gtester-report to 
facilitate running tests and producing nicely formatted test reports.

<!-- ##### ENUM GTestTrapFlags ##### -->
<para>
Test traps are guards around forked tests. These flags
determine what traps to set.
</para>

@G_TEST_TRAP_SILENCE_STDOUT: Redirect stdout of the test child to 
    <filename>/dev/null</filename> so it cannot be observed on the 
    console during test runs. The actual output is still captured 
    though to allow later tests with g_test_trap_assert_stdout().
@G_TEST_TRAP_SILENCE_STDERR: Redirect stderr of the test child to 
    <filename>/dev/null</filename> so it cannot be observed on the 
    console during test runs. The actual output is still captured 
    though to allow later tests with g_test_trap_assert_stderr().
@G_TEST_TRAP_INHERIT_STDIN: If this flag is given, stdin of the forked 
    child process is shared with stdin of its parent process. It is 
    redirected to <filename>/dev/null</filename> otherwise.

is that it can produce a message that includes the actual values of @n1
and @n2.
</para>

@n1: an unsigned integer
@cmp: The comparison operator to use. One of ==, !=, &lt;, &gt;, &lt;=, &gt;=.
@n2: another unsigned integer
@Since: 2.16


<!-- ##### MACRO g_assert_cmphex ##### -->
<para>
Debugging macro to terminate the application with a warning message 
if an unsigned integer comparison fails. This is a variant of
g_assert_cmpuint() that displays the numbers in hexadecimal notation
in the message.
</para>

@n1: an unsigned integer
@cmp: The comparison operator to use. One of ==, !=, &lt;, &gt;, &lt;=, &gt;=.
@n2: another unsigned integer

as <literal>g_assert (n1 op n2)</literal>. The advantage of this function
is that it can produce a message that includes the actual values of @n1
and @n2.
</para>

@n1: an floating point number
@cmp: The comparison operator to use. One of ==, !=, &lt;, &gt;, &lt;=, &gt;=.

<!-- ##### MACRO g_assert_no_error ##### -->
<para>
Debugging macro to terminate the application with a warning message 
if a method has returned a #GError.
</para>
<para>
The effect of <literal>g_assert_no_error (err)</literal> is the same
as <literal>g_assert (err == NULL)</literal>. The advantage of this macro
is that it can produce a message that includes the error message and code.
</para>

@err: a #GError, possibly %NULL
@Since: 2.20


<!-- ##### MACRO g_assert_error ##### -->
<para>
Debugging macro to terminate the application with a warning message 
if a method has not returned the correct #GError.
</para>
<para>
The effect of <literal>g_assert_error (err, dom, c)</literal> is the same
as <literal>g_assert (err != NULL &amp;&amp; err->domain == dom &amp;&amp; err->code == c)</literal>.
The advantage of this macro is that it can produce a message that
includes the incorrect error message and code.
</para>
<para>
This can only be used to test for a specific error. If you want to
test that @err is set, but don't care what it's set to, just use
<literal>g_assert (err != NULL)</literal>
</para>

@err: a #GError, possibly %NULL
@dom: the expected error domain (a #GQuark)
@c: the expected error code
