Mateusz,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">That was a good assumption at the time :-) Things are a little bit different now.</div>
<div class="">It would seem that Catch2 is also good for C code, yes? Obviously compiled</div>
<div class="">with a C++ compiler. The documentation is a bit vague on this (it just says that</div>
<div class="">maybe it works).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am working on a proposal to improve testing of the existing code. So far I have</div>
<div class="">been working under the assumption that Catch2 would work for testing the</div>
<div class="">C code we have now. If not I will change that to cunit but it would definitely be</div>
<div class="">nice to just use one framework.</div>

Your timing is perfect. I was literally just typing up a long email about improving<br class="">
the test situation in PROJ right now! I was going to propose a larger restructuring<br class="">
of the tests we already have as well as adding a dedicated testing framework for<br class="">
testing API functions etc. You’ve taken care of the latter and most pressing issue.<br class="">
I’ll address the rest of my proposal at a later time I think.<br class="">
<br class="">
I have only looked briefly at catch2 but it seems good to me. I am happy that you’ve<br class="">
put your tests in test/.<br class="">
