I see that almost all of the phobos library files have "unittests". Were these unit tests were created using some framework? If so, then what is it?

Thank you...!

No, these unit test were just written by hand while writing the corresponding pieces of code, and extended after a bug was fixed which they previously missed.

Or was your question related to actually running them?

and how does one do unit testing with GDC?  It works fine with DMD, but GDC doesn't do unit testing when -unittest is supplied.

-funittest, IIRC.

@David:

No, my question was not about running them,but on how that code was generated. I thought they were auto generated using a unitest framework :). Your answer clarifies everything. Thank you..! :-)

LOL. Goodness no. They're done by hand. I'm currently reworking std.datetime's unit tests, and it's very time consuming (since it's a large module with lots of tests). I don't know how you'd get a framework to generate what I want anyway. The fact that D has unit testing built in like it does is fantastic, but it is fairly simplistic.

I'm new to this concept of uni testing. Thanks for the help :)
