Many normal "C" features are not commonly used either, shouldn't we have tests for them?
If all the C framework could do was test the alignment of a few rarely used structures, then it would clearly not be worth the trouble either.
Perhaps. But that is only ONE of the things we could do.
Unless you have noticed the meantion examples (repeated below) contains INLINE FUNCTIONS that needs to be tested not just alignment and that sort of things.
< A FEW examples of C++ only features: < 1. The D3D math classes (vector, matrices, quaternions, colors etc) in < d3dvec.inl d3dx8math.inl d3dxmath.inl < 2. The GDI+ API classes in gdiplus*.h < 3. The DAO API classes in dbdao.h < 4. STL compatible classes for accessing SAFEARRAY's in t_safevector.h
