[PATCH v4 3/6] unit-tests: add if_test

From
René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>
Date
Jul 30, 2024, 14:08 UTC
Message-ID
<da902de9-288e-4783-8b4b-a2a968d1e1f8@web.de>
In-Reply-To
<077a178e-eb30-45ff-b653-a514bfd33077@web.de>

The macro TEST only allows defining a test that consists of a single expression. Add a new macro, if_test, which provides a way to define unit tests that are made up of one or more statements.

if_test allows defining self-contained tests en bloc, a bit like test_expect_success does for regular tests. It acts like a conditional; the test body is executed if test_skip_all() had not been called before.
