Absolutely nothing. A C program starts in the function main(). This program has no main(). So, presumably, this is a set of library routines that will be linked into a larger program to perform some series of operations.

If someone finds a few hundred lines of C code and doesn't know what it does, why would you mess with it? Why should we play a guessing game like this when you give us no context as to what input it gets, what output it produces, and what documentation comes with it describing what it is supposed to do?

Do you have some other code that is linked with this code to produce a program? How does that program call the code in this file?

NAME
wibble-test-genrunner - Code generator for wibble testsuites. SYNOPSIS
wibble-test-genrunner header <file> wibble-test-genrunner main <files> DESCRIPTION
The program generates .cpp files that are then compiled and linked into a test program for running tests from .test.h files. Examples of such .test.h files may be found among wibble headers, eg. /usr/include/wibble/regexp.test.h. In the first form, the program processes a single header file (usually of the form foo.test.h) and produces a corresponding .cpp file to be compiled. In the second form, it takes as <files> all the .test.h headers and produces a single main.cpp which contains the main() function of the test program, which then runs all the tests in all the .test.h files. The generated source code is always written to standard output and it is left up to the user to redirect it to a meaningful location. The program currently has no options other than the two forms above. The program is intended to be run as part of build process of programs or libraries using the wibble testing framework. For convenient use from CMake, there is a test.cmake script under /usr/share/wibble, that takes care of producing all the .cpp files (both per-header and the main one), compiling them and linking them into a single binary which executes the testsuite.
