WIN_ASSERT_EQUAL

WIN_ASSERT_EQUAL

Synopsis

WIN_ASSERT_EQUAL allows typesafe comparison of values. Failed comparisons are treated as a failure, i.e. in the same manner as a failed WIN_ASSERT_TRUE. The benefit over using WIN_ASSERT_TRUE( Expected == Actual ) is that the expected and actual value will be visible in the failure report.

Declaration
void WIN_ASSERT_EQUAL( 
	__in T Expected, 
	__in U Actual,
	...
	);
			

T and U may either be the same type or compatible types. That is, an appropriate operator== must have been implemented that allows objects of type T and U to be checked for equality.

Parameters

[in] Expected: The expected value.

[in] Actual: The actual value that is to be checked.

[in] ...: Optional: Message to be included in a failure report. This parameter allows printf-style formatters to be used, with the corresponding parameters being specified as subsequent arguments. The routine is overloaded and allows Message to be either a unicode or an ANSI string.

Remarks

Please refer to the remarks section of CFIXCC_ASSERT_EQUALS for a discussion on how comparisons are conducted.

[Note]Note
To compare strings, please use WIN_ASSERT_STRING_EQUAL.

When comparing non-primitive objects, consider providing an appropriate WinUnit::ToString implementation.

Usage example
WIN_ASSERT_EQUAL( 42, Answer, "Answer should be 42" );
WIN_ASSERT_EQUAL( 42, Answer, L"Answer should be %d", 42 );
WIN_ASSERT_EQUAL( 2.0, 2, "Double/int - exact equality check" );

//
// Float/double comparisons with relaxed precision.
// (All of the following assertions succeed).
//
WIN_ASSERT_EQUAL( 1.9999999f, 2.0f, "Two floats - relaxed check" );
WIN_ASSERT_EQUAL( 2.0f, 1.9999999f );
WIN_ASSERT_EQUAL( 1.99999999999999f, 2.0, "Float/double - relaxed check" );
WIN_ASSERT_EQUAL( 2.0, 1.99999999999999f, "Double/float - relaxed check" );
