Finally - FINALLY - unit tests in #FreePascal make sense. As usual, it was a few tiny details that I couldn't quite grasp. Someone (@jbmorley) very kindly took the time to walk me though, and now I'm all set to test and refactor #CTRAN!

FYI: I'm using FPTest, which has a much nicer CLI output that FPCUnit.

Next thing I need to look up - inheritance. Specifically, creating a wrapper class to test private methods in a parent class.

Well, it was surprisingly easy. Here, I'm re-declaring a strict protected method as private:

TPsionOOParserWrap = class(TPsionOOParser)

    private

        procedure _AddToken(toktype: TTokenType; tokliteral: String);

end;

{ snip }

procedure TPsionOOParserWrap._AddToken(toktype: TTokenType; tokliteral: String);

begin

Inherited;

end;

If someone with more knowledge of #ObjectPascal than me thinks that this is unnecessary, or there's a better way to do it, then please let me know!
