FOUNDATION SERVICES - Placing test code in shared libraries

Placing test code in shared libraries

To work around this restriction on flattening and resurrecting persistent objects in test programs, write your test code inside of a function with a name like MyMain, or TestMain. Place this code inside a module that is built as a shared library, then call MyMain or TestMain from the actual test program.

  // MainProgramModule.C

main()

  {
      MyMain();
  }
  
  // SharedLibraryForMyMain.C
  void MyMain()
  {
      TSetOf<TDocument> aDocumentSet;
      // Code to flatten aDocumentSet
      ...
      // Code to resurrect aDocumentSet
  }

The code inside SharedLibraryForMyMain.C should work properly. Type information to support object persistence for all classes defined in the module is automatically appended when the shared library is built.
