Scl test class

The scl_test_class pragma

The scl_test_class pragma is one of the Test Unit pragmas. It declares a test class as captured. Once captured, the STRIDE compiler will generate the appropriate code in the Intercept Module (IM) for instantiating the class and executing its test methods.

Syntax

#pragma scl_test_class(class-name)

Parameters	Type	Description
class-name	String	The name of the test class to be captured. Once captured, STRIDE will generate the appropriate code for executing the test methods in the class.

Notes

• This pragma requires the compilation language to be C++. If the compilation language is not C++ and this pragma is encountered, then an error is issued and this pragma is ignored.

• The test class identified:
  • must have single public constructor - default or explicit.
  • must not be a templated class
  • must not be a nested class
  • must not be a pure virtual class
  • must have one or more member functions that is suitable as a test method. For a member function to be a test method it:
    • must be declared within the test class (a method that is inherited from a base class cannot be a test method)
    • must have a return type of bool, an integral type (signed or unsigned long, int, short, char) or void.
    • must have an empty parameter list - declared as f() or f(void).
    • must not be a templatized function
    • must not be an overloaded operator
    • must not be a static member.

• Optionally if desired a set of setup/teardown fixtures could be applied.

• Optionally if desired the public constructor may have parameters (they must all be POD type). For which concrete values could be specified when running the test unit.

Examples

#include <srtest.h>

class RuntimeServices_dynamic {
public:
  void dynamic(void);
     
  // Declaring a constructor for an scl_test_class is optional, but
  // if a constructor is declared all parameters must be of plain old data (POD) type.
  RuntimeServices_dynamic(int i, const char* s);
};
    
#ifdef _SCL
#pragma scl_test_class(RuntimeServices_dynamic)
#endif
