What is Criterion?
Criterion is a non-intrusive cross-platform C unit testing framework.
Most test frameworks for C require a lot of boilerplate code to set up tests and test suites -- you need to create a main, then register new test suites, then register the tests within these suits, and finally call the right functions.
This gives the user great control, at the unfortunate cost of simplicity.
Criterion follows the KISS principle, while keeping the control the user would have with other frameworks:
Tests are automatically registered when declared.
A default entry point is provided, no need to declare a main unless you want to do special handling.
Test are isolated in their own process, crashes and signals can be reported and tested.
Progress and statistics can be followed in real time with report hooks.
