This is useful when doing several asserts in one loop, for instance: there
isn't always a way to deduce the loop index from the assert failure, so
these macros allow the user to give more context information.
CPPUNIT_ASSERT_EQUAL(a, b) “expects” the value “a” and fails if “b” is
different. The logic seems backwards to me, but matching CppUnit’s
output is important so I’m doing the same in LolUnit.
CppUnit is really too large for our needs, would require to be precompiled
for many platforms, in all combinations of debug and release modes, with
additional variants for libstdc++ versions. We replace it with our own
lightweight implementation, LolUnit. Good riddance.
