<concept id="GUID-5AA3E9E4-9727-5B54-81CB-DADA73DEC51E" xml:lang="en"><title>Using

__DECLARE_TEST</title><shortdesc>This topic explains how to use declare test macro.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>To illustrate the use of the <codeph>__DECLARE_TEST</codeph> macro, we

can define the class <codeph>TEgInvariant</codeph>. It has a very simple state,

a single data member <codeph>iData</codeph>. An object is in an invalid state

when <codeph>iData</codeph> is greater than 100.</p>

<codeblock id="GUID-27C84A0C-E3CE-545D-BEA0-BB211C7CA673" xml:space="preserve">class TEgInvariant 

 {

public:

 void SetData(TUint a);

 TUint Data();

 void DoSomeThing();

private:

 TUint iData;

__DECLARE_TEST;

 };</codeblock>

<p>Then we define the getter/setter functions for <codeph>iData</codeph>:</p>

<codeblock id="GUID-6D5BEA03-27AC-59D7-A921-236290D2379B" xml:space="preserve">void TEgInvariant::SetData(TUint a)

 {

 iData=a;

 }

TUint TEgInvariant::Data()

 {

 return iData;

 }</codeblock>

<p><codeph>TEgInvariant::DoSomeThing()</codeph> is a function that would perform

some useful work. We verify the object’s state at its beginning and end through <codeph>__TEST_INVARIANT</codeph>. </p>

<codeblock id="GUID-E7164503-1FFF-5522-8DAE-20C8604708D1" xml:space="preserve">void TEgInvariant::DoSomeThing()

 {

 __TEST_INVARIANT;

 //...do something with iData

 __TEST_INVARIANT;

 }</codeblock>

<p><codeph>TEgInvariant::__DbgTestInvariant()</codeph> performs the invariance

test:</p>

<codeblock id="GUID-37842C4B-7A40-59E5-B5DF-5800980CBFF0" xml:space="preserve">void TEgInvariant::__DbgTestInvariant() const

 {

#if defined(_DEBUG)

 if(iData > 100)

  User::Invariant();

#endif

 }</codeblock>

<p>We could test the class with the following code:</p>

<codeblock id="GUID-23C56C04-7218-53ED-834E-965BF2CA3A58" xml:space="preserve"> TEgInvariant Eg; 

 Eg.SetData(10);

 Eg.DoSomeThing();

 Eg.SetData(1000);

 Eg.DoSomeThing();</codeblock>

<p>In debug builds, the second call to <codeph>DoSomeThing()</codeph> causes

a panic, alerting us to a problem in the code that needs fixing. </p>
