Summary0014247: FindCxxTest: CXXTEST_ADD_TEST compiles source files in Visual Studio 10 even though they shouldn't
DescriptionThe source files containing the actual test sources (i.e. the input files to test generantion) are compiled as though there were actual source files in Visual Studio 10 if they have a .cpp extension.
But since they can't be compiled standalone it would be desireable to have them only show up in the project, but be excluded from actual compilation. This can be done by tagging the test source files as "header files only" (see attached patch).
Steps To Reproduce1. Create a CxxTest with the input files having an .cpp extension:
CXXTEST_ADD_TEST(test_UnicodeStream test_generated.cpp my_test_input.cpp)
2. Generate a Visual Studio 10 project.
3. Compile: my_test_input.cpp is being compiled, which fails.

Same bug in GCC 4.7.2 on Debian.
If tests are in cpp-file, they are built and linked together with generated file, and it causes multiple definitions.
Patch, proposed by res3d, doesn't work for me, it removes multiple definitions, but causes multiple undefined references.
The only solution for now is to rename tests file from .cpp to .h.
