[WIP] Remove redundant declaration of unit_test_failures

[Copilot]

Plan: Remove Redundant Declaration

• Understand the issue - There are two declarations of extern int unit_test_failures; in UnitTest.h (lines 43 and 66)
• Examine the file to locate both declarations
• Remove the redundant declaration at line 66
• Verify the code compiles successfully after the change
• Complete final verification

Original prompt

Problem

The file tests/testutils/UnitTest.h contains a redundant declaration of extern int unit_test_failures; at line 66. This variable is already declared earlier in the same header file, making the second declaration unnecessary.

Task

Remove the redundant declaration of extern int unit_test_failures; at line 66 in tests/testutils/UnitTest.h.

Details

• File: tests/testutils/UnitTest.h
• Line: 66
• Current Code: extern int unit_test_failures;
• Action: Delete this redundant declaration line
• Context: The variable should only be declared once with extern in the header file

Expected Outcome

After this change:

• The redundant declaration at line 66 should be removed
• The first/original declaration of extern int unit_test_failures; should remain intact
• The code should compile without any issues
• No functional changes to the test framework behavior
