编译CppUTest和类型转换错误

Question

I have never used any unit test framework with C++. Now I took CppUTest version 3.6. I am trying to compile library according to README_InstallCppUTest.txt file:

./configure => OK

make => Not OK

src/CppUTest/JUnitTestOutput.cpp:170:29: error: use of old-style cast [-Werror,-Wold-style-cast]

Shall I correct all of these compiling error or can I somehow skip the errors? I know that g++ is symbolic link to clang in OSX.

Previously I tried to use gtest. Basically it was very nice when making dummy test (eg EXPECT_EQ(1,1) ). When I tried to test a class of normal production code, it was difficult to find how to use stubs or mocs. So I decided to try CppUTest.

You may disable the warning (or remove -Werror - it turns all warnings into errors).

I assume you have downloaded the stable release, so you can try with the current Git Snapshot . However, this may not be stable.

Ok. If I change CppUTest framework code, can I then commit changes?

You should frist check the current sources (link above). If it's not fixed yet , it's always a good idea to contribute your fix to the project.

You can either file an issue or open a pull request for your fix.
