Can you give an example of something gtest doesn't already support? Newer releases added support for data parameterized tests, which is really useful. Type parameterized tests are being discussed on the mailing list. All while maintaining a small codebase!<br> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: -1; "></span></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: -1; "></span></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: -1; "></span></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: -1; ">No not really.
