We could expose a new static function in SBDebugger:
class SBDebugger {
static void
UnitTest (const char *args);
};
Then internally it can parse any arguments and run tests as needed? Each class
that wants to register unit tests with the debugger during
SBDebugger::Initialize() which must be called prior to doing anything with the
LLDB API:
SBDebugger::Initialize()
{
Debugger::Intialize();
}
Debugger::Initialize()
{
....
NamedPipe:: Initialize();
}
Then in the static NamedPipe::Initiazize() you could register your unit tests:
void
NamedPipe::Initialiaze()
{
Debugger::RegisterUnitTest(NamedPipe::InitTest1, "NamedPipe::InitTest1"));
}
Then you could just run:
SBDebugger::Initialize();
SBDebugger::UnitTest(NULL); // Run all tests
Or run individual ones:
SBDebugger::Initialize();
SBDebugger::UnitTest("--test NamedPipe::InitTest1"); // Run just
"NamedPipe::InitTest1"
Of course then the LLDB test suite could run these unit tests first to make
sure everything is good.
