C++ tests need Linux-isms changed to build on Windows
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: QPID-1625
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1625
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++ Broker, C++ Client
    Affects Versions: M4
         Environment: Windows
            Reporter: Steve Huston
            Priority: Minor


A number of the qpid/cpp/src/tests sources contain #includes that don't work on 
Windows. For example, <alloca.h>. In many cases, the referenced facilities 
exist on Windows but are accessed slightly differently. For example, this works 
on Windows where <alloca.h> is included:

#ifdef _WIN32
#  include <malloc.h>
#  define alloc _alloc
#else
#  include <alloca.h>
#endif

I was thinking that, rather than add things to qpid/cpp/src/qpid/sys 
(platform-specific code for broker and client) that a sys directory be added to 
qpid/cpp/src/tests where things used just for the testing are placed. For 
example, there could be a tests/sys/alloca.h which contains, essentially, the 
ifdef block above.

Thoughts?
