> Should still be possible to have a separate binary for checking, so long as the symbol is public. We could have either that function public, or a geany_test_main() that calls a bunch of tests and can be run without a GUI. Or something like @codebrainz's idea of something like a self-test option, --test that would perform tests and exit (with out without GUI, one could probably be emulated somehow with some weird X-faking thingie).

What's the point of the separate testing binary? Or in other words, what's wrong with the current way the tests are run (already without GUI)? I don't understand what this is trying to achieve.
