Post subject: <c> Small module to help testing other modules

Located here. I often find it to be a pain to test out modules in certain conditions so I put this together to make it a bit easier. It's kind of like unit testing but doesn't adhere to the whole xUnit movement in the strictest sense.

Right now it's just set up to let you run them with commands, in the future I may set up some kind of automation.

That is not the purpose, it is a tool to help in automated unit testing.
In unit testing you take a "unit" (module, class, whatever), feed it a whole lot of inputs and check if the output is correct.

If you want to "stop" segfaults you could set it up so sigsegv is simply ignored. in GDB you can do "handle SIGSEGV nostop print ignore". Have fun!

It lets you come up with like "scenarios" for things you either want to test repeatedly or that would be difficult to set up otherwise. It does not fix your code, it just helps you find errors.
