Zidane is a simple header-only unit testing library for C.

Simply include the zidane.h header file on the beginning of a C source file containing the test cases. Furthermore, define the ZIDANE_IMPLEMENTATION macro before the include in exactly one file, as follows:

#define ZIDANE_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "zidane.h"

Test cases are C functions defined with the ZIDANE_TEST(name) macro, where name should be a unique identifier for the test case. The test functions have the following prototype:

void test_example(void);

and can be defined as follows:

ZIDANE_TEST(test_example)
{
	// ...
}

One can use the ZIDANE_VERIFY(p) macro to check for a particular condition, given by a boolean p. For example, one might write

ZIDANE_TEST(sanity)
{
	ZIDANE_VERIFY(2 + 2 == 4);
}

Please refer to test_zidane.c for more example usage.
