[webkit-dev] C++ unit tests for WebKit?

[Hans Muller]

It looks like Tools/TestWebKitAPI/Tests/WebCore just contains one small
KURL test. I could certainly add more for the Exclusions shape classes,
but I got that feeling that maybe you get about being the first to take a
table at an empty restaurant.  Perhaps it's just that most of the C++
classes in WebCore are too interdependent to merit unit testing?
