Hello,

I am using libcppunit-dev version 1.13.2-2.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 Linux, 32 bit. When running a CppUnit::TestCase, the application which runs the test crashes on exit. Creating a very simple test runner:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

#include <cppunit/ui/text/TextTestRunner.h>
#include <cppunit/TestResult.h>
#include <cppunit/TextOutputter.h>
#include <cppunit/TestResultCollector.h>

#include "SampleTestCase.h"

int main(int, char**)
{  
  SampleTestCase testCase("My test");
  
  CppUnit::TestResultCollector collector;
  CppUnit::TextOutputter outputter(&collector, std::cout);
  CppUnit::TestResult testResult;
  CppUnit::TextTestRunner runner;
  
  std::cout << testCase.getName() << std::endl;
    
  runner.addTest(&testCase);    
  return (runner.run() ? EXIT_SUCCESS : EXIT_FAILURE);
}

where SampleTestCase is a very simple class which always succeededs:

#include <cppunit/TestCase.h>

class SampleTestCase : public CppUnit::TestCase
{
public:
  explicit SampleTestCase(const std::string& testName);
  SampleTestCase(const SampleTestCase& src) = delete;
  virtual ~SampleTestCase();
  
  void runTest();

};

When running, a crash occurs eventually on destructing this test case:

My test
.


OK (1 tests)
