Description

Utility functions for advanced string handling in tests.

The µTest++ framework includes a collection of utility functions designed to simplify advanced string operations commonly required during test development. These functions support tasks such as partial string matching, splitting long strings for improved readability, and other manipulations that enhance the clarity and effectiveness of test code.

Functions

is_match()

bool micro_os_plus::micro_test_plus::utility::is_match (std::string_view input, std::string_view pattern)
nodiscard

Check if a string matches a pattern.

Parameters
[in] inputThe string view to be checked.
[in] patternThe string view containing the pattern to match.
Returns

true if the input string matches the pattern; otherwise, false.

This function enables pattern-based string comparison for tests, supporting both exact matches and wildcard patterns. The pattern may include * to match any sequence of characters and ? to match any single character. This allows for flexible validation of string content in test assertions, accommodating variable or partially known values.

Examples
 
 mt::expect (mt::utility::is_match ("abc", "a?c")) << "abc matches a?c";
 mt::expect (mt::utility::is_match ("abc", "a*c")) << "abc matches a*c";

mut()

template <class T>
T & micro_os_plus::micro_test_plus::mut (const T & t)
nodiscardconstexprnoexcept

Generic mutator to remove const qualification from any type.

Template Parameters
TThe type of the input object.
Parameters
[in] tThe object from which to remove const qualification.
Returns

A non-const reference to the input object.

The mut function template provides a safe and generic mechanism to remove the const qualifier from any type. It returns a non-const reference to the input object, enabling modification of objects that were originally declared as const. This utility is particularly useful in testing scenarios where controlled mutation of test data is required.

split()

template <class T, class Delim_T>
std::vector< T > micro_os_plus::micro_test_plus::utility::split (T input, Delim_T delim)
nodiscard

Split a string into a vector of sub-strings.

Template Parameters
TType of the input string.
Delim_TType of the delimiter.
Parameters
[in] inputInput string to split.
[in] delimDelimiter string.
Returns

A vector containing the resulting sub-strings.

This function template facilitates string handling in tests by splitting a string into a vector of substrings, using the specified delimiter.

The function iterates through the input string, identifying delimiter positions and extracting substrings between them. Each resulting substring is added to the output vector. This approach supports flexible parsing of delimited data, which is particularly useful for validating string processing logic in test cases.

Example
 
 mt::expect (std::vector<std::string_view>{ "a", "b" }
  == mt::utility::split<std::string_view> ("a.b", "."))
  << "a.b splits into [a,b]";
