I have just began a new C project, using gcc (currently 4.5.2). Now, before it grows too big, I want to start unit testing it. After some googling I've realized that there are numerous of frameworks to choose from. I cannot afford testing them all.
Note that I don't mind using g++ for the unit tests, as long as I can use gcc for the project itself. It won't hurt if it has good VIM integration, though not mandatory.
So, simply, which should I choose and why?
