> I would like to know the reasoning behind this. It sure seems clever but what is the advantage that this provides?
Since C provides very little metaprogramming capabilities, this was the only way to obtain what I wanted: Most (if not all) other testing libraries/frameworks require some boilerplate to start testing (namely: defining your `main` function, which calls all of your tests). Additionally, every time you write a new test, you must remember to add it to your `main` function.
I decided that those two things were bothersome enough, so I wrote a proof of concept that evolved into a large project with tons of useful features beyond that.
