Overview

Abstract base class describing an invocation of a test.

Discussion

TestInvocation is an abstract base class describing the invocation of a test. This base class makes it possible to specify invocations as arguments and instance variables without requiring the spread of template declarations. Generally you will use the macro TEST_INVOCATION to create a TestInvocation, passing it a Test subclass and an instance method. In order to actually invoke a test method, CPlusTest sends the TestInvocation representing it invokeWithTarget and passes that a pointer to the individual Test to invoke the method on.
