[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Criterion unit tests (#1427)

[Thomas Martitz]

Criterion is a fine unit testing framework for C/C++. By providing the infrastructure we can hopefully motivate us to do some more unit tests outside of ctags.

For more information about criterion, please just ask or look at http://criterion.readthedocs.io/en/master/ and https://github.com/Snaipe/Criterion.

Summary of its headline features:

- C99 and C++11 compatible.
- Tests are automatically registered when declared.
- Implements a xUnit framework structure.
- A default entry point is provided, no need to declare a main unless you want to do special handling.
- Test are isolated in their own process, crashes and signals can be reported and tested.
- Unified interface between C and C++: include the criterion header and it just works.
- Supports parameterized tests and theories.
- Progress and statistics can be followed in real time with report hooks.
- TAP output format can be enabled with an option.
- Runs on Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows (Compiling with MinGW GCC and Visual Studio 2015+).


I do plan to create a real test for an upcoming PR (wanna fix #1398 and related).
