+# samples/death
+
+DrMock v0.4.0 introduces death tests. A _death test_ checks if a certain
+statement will cause the process to raise a certain signal. This may be
+used to assert that in certain unrecoverable situations, the program
+exits before causing further damage.
+
+This sample demonstrates the death testing capabilities of **DrMock**.

+
+### Project structure
+
+```
+samples/death
+│   CMakeLists.txt
+│   Makefile
+│   deathTest.cpp
+```
+
+## Source code
+
+Open `deathTest.cpp`!
+The `DRTEST_ASSERT_DEATH(statement, expected)` macro checks if executing
+`statement` will cause the signal `expected` to be raised. As with
+`DRTEST_ASSERT_THROW`, statement may contain multiple lines of code, if
+they are seperated by semicolons (see below).
+
+In the test `catch_segfault`, we test the classic segmentation fault
+scenario, dereferencing a `nullptr`:
+```cpp
+DRTEST_TEST(catch_segfault)
+{
+  DRTEST_ASSERT_DEATH(
+      int* foo = nullptr;
+      *foo = 0,
+      SIGSEGV
+    );
+}
+```
+We expect this to raise the `SIGSEGV` signal. The test will verify this.
+
+## Running the tests
+
+Do `make`. This should yield the following:
+
+```
+    Start 1: deathTest
+1/1 Test #1: deathTest ........................   Passed    0.00 sec
+
+100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 1
+
+Total Test time (real) =   0.01 sec
+```
+
+## Details
+
+### Supported signals
+
+The following POSIX signals may be caught using `DRTEST_ASSERT_DEATH`:
+```cpp
+SIGABRT, SIGALRM,   SIGBUS,  SIGCHLD,
+SIGCONT, SIGFPE,    SIGHUP,  SIGILL,
+SIGINT,  SIGPIPE,   SIGPROF, SIGQUIT,
+SIGSEGV, SIGTSTP,   SIGSYS,  SIGTERM,
+SIGTRAP, SIGTTIN,   SIGTTOU, SIGURG,
+SIGUSR2, SIGVTALRM, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ
+```
+Note that `SIGKILL`, `SIGSTOP` and `SIGUSR1` are not supported.
+
+### clone, fork, signal, multi-threading
+
+Using `clone()`, `fork()`, `signal()` or multi-threading are not allowed
+when using `DRTEST_ASSERT_DEATH`.
