Our previous framework of choice was [http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/doc/lastest/cppunit_cookbook.html CppUnit], but we stopped using it because there was no practical way to pre-build it for all the platforms we support (Windows with various compilers, Android, iOS, PS3…). Also, we had to keep as many precompiled binaries as there were versions of libstdc++, multiplied by the number of possible configurations (debug, release…). This was very difficult to maintain.

    64 One major problem I have with this system is that `Addition` needs to be declared and defined at two different places. Similarly, `Test1` needs to be declared, then given as an argument to `CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE`, and finally as an argument to `CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_REGISTRATION`.
