I have a suite of unit tests that is managed by googletest. These tests are run in multiple threads by default, even when I use --gtest_filter=foo.test so that it only runs a single test. This is causing ambiguity about the cause of a bug I'm trying to hammer out.
How can multithreaded testing be turned off in googletest?
There's no commandline switch for single/multi-threading. libgtest is built either
single-threading or multi-threading.
To make it single-threading, build gtest with ./configure --with-pthreads=no, then link your unit test app without -pthread
If you only want single threading sometimes, then make a no-pthreads build of libgtest,
call it something else, and link it when you want.
