Its documentation explains the name as a reference to the Autoconf/Automake `make check` testing idiom, while noting that those build tools are not required. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The project long predates its 2015 GitHub mirror/repository creation. Its README and website document Autotools and CMake builds, pkg-config-style packaging, Windows support through Cygwin/MinGW/MSVC, and availability across many Unix-like package repositories. ### Wie es verwendet wird Developers link against Check, define suites and test cases in C, and run tests through `make check`, CTest, or their own runner. Check reports failures in source-location formats and can output Subunit, TAP, XML, and generic logs. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Check is significant because it is one of the classic packaged C testing libraries: small, C-focused, build-system-friendly, and old enough to be present in mainstream Linux, BSD, macOS, and source-based packaging ecosystems. ### Zeitleiste - 2001: 0.5.0 initial public release recorded in NEWS. - 2001: 0.8.0 added nofork mode and pipe-based backend. - 2002: License changed to LGPL in 0.8.1. - 2010: checkmk helper added for reducing test boilerplate. - 2015: GitHub repository created. - 2020: 0.15.2 released. ### Related projects - GNU Autounit is cited by Check documentation as an influence for using forked test processes. - Other C/C++ testing frameworks named in the manual include AceUnit, CUnit, CuTest, and CppUnit. - Autoconf, Automake, CMake, pkg-config, TAP, XML, and Subunit are important integration points. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig -
