    There are other ways to do this. I made a proof of concept of using linker sections to allow you to sprinkle tests within the implementation inline once... https://github.com/cozzyd/examc (this is obviously not production-ready, just serves as a proof of concept).

    Basically the idea is that the test code gets written to a different linker section that your test runner can iterate through, when tests are enabled.

    Indeed, I just made a POC with compiler sections: https://github.com/cozzyd/examc

    This implementation only works with gcc though probably (it uses the automatic __start_SECTION and __stop_SECTION that gcc generates but clang doesn't seem to... there are likely hacks to make this work anyway though).
