In the olden days, I used to write a "main" method in all my
Java classes which would run some simple unit tests.  Then I found
JUnit (a unit testing framework for Java), and now I just write all my
unit tests in a separate class, and I don't have the main method
anymore.

So, for Java, yeah.  For C/C++, I haven't seen anything similar.

Later,
Blake.
