thinline

Description

Thinline is a project for handling and executing unittests written in function comment sections for C/C++ & Python. It's currently under development, analysis works partially but the synthesis part won't work right now.

Installation

Requirements

To use thinline you need a valid Rust installation and its package manager cargo. Depending on your OS you can install them via the package manager you like the most. Besides this you can use rustup if you want but keep in mind that this can conflict with already existing installations of rust, so uninstall them first.

Besides this thinline uses the rust clang implementation, so please make sure to also fulfill its requirements.

crates.io

Thinline is available on crates.io, the official rust crate registry.

cargo install thinline

Manual installation

Just clone this repo and then this simple installation command should be enough:

cargo install
