## Caveats
* GDB doesn't seem to support separate output streams for `stdout` and `stderr`,
so all test output to `stderr` will end up combined with `stdout` and both will be
printed to the runner's `stdout`. If you know a workaround for this that doesn't
require patching + building GDB itself please open an issue about it!
* Since the custom test runner runs as part of `cargo test`, it won't be able to
find a `3dsx` that hasn't built yet. `cargo-3ds` doesn't build `3dsx` executables until
_after_ the cargo command it runs internally, so this means that tests can't depend
on any features of the `3dsx` (like embedded romFS). A workaround for this is to
simply build the tests as a separate step before running them, after which the
runner will be able to find the `3dsx`.
* Doctests require a bit of extra setup to work with the runner, since they don't
use the crate's `#![test_runner]`. To write doctests, add the following to the
beginning of the doctest (or `fn main()` if the test defines it):
```rust
let _runner = test_runner::GdbRunner::default();
```
The runner must remain in scope for the duration of the test in order for
the test output to be printed.
