	\myheading{usage}

	Your tests should be written as a single .c file separate from
	the body of text containing your functionality to be tested.
	A simple example might look something like this: \\ 

	\hrule
	\lstset{style=customc}
	\lstinputlisting{a_simple_example.c}
	\hrule
	\pagebreak

	If both tests above succeed, the output will look like this:\\

	\hrule
	\vspace{8pt}

	% successful output
	\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{r@{\ \tt\bf :: }l}
		\mytermrow{1}{\color{Yellow4}description of the first test}
		\mytermrow{2}{\color{Yellow4}this is the second test}
		\mytermrow{ }{\color{DodgerBlue2}grabbing heap string...}
		\mytermrow{ }{\color{SpringGreen4}success!}
	\end{tabular*}

	\vspace{8pt}
	\hrule
	\vspace{20pt}

	If the first test fails, it will look something like this:\\
	\hrule
	\vspace{8pt}

	% failed output
	\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{r@{\ \tt\bf :: }l}
		\mytermrow{1}{\color{Yellow4}description of the first test}
		\mytermrow{ }{\color{Red1}FAIL: error message shown on failing}
		\mytermrow{ }{\textcolor{SpringGreen4}{\textbf{\ \ expected:}}6}

			this defines a list of statements to run

			after the declaration of all variables to
			which it makes reference.
		}

			place at the end of a test which uses
			CLEANUP to ensure it is called before the

			this without using more than just one
			header file, so i hope it isn't too annoying.

			generic integer comparisons soon.
