Maybe it's just a poor example, but something like this:
some_test_func(args)
{
    int x = 5;
    int y = 5;

    printf("checking if C compiler isn't thoroughly broken ... ");
    assert(x == y);
    printf("success\n");
}

would seem to work just as well.

I can almost see the argument for something slightly more
comprehensive though, since rendercheck-style results of being able to
compare various runs in their entirety rather than bailing out on the
first failure, are more useful.  But still ...

Cheers,
Daniel
