An extension for GoogleTest (GTest). `EXPECT_NO_DEATH` is the opposite of EXPECT_DEATH. It passes if the statement does not abort, assert, or otherwise die.

Comparing this code to the definition of GTEST_DEATH_TEST_ in gtest, the corresponding code to line 31 is:
gtest_dt->Abort(::testing::internal::DeathTest::TEST_DID_NOT_DIE);
Is this change intentional?

It's been a while since I wrote this. Frankly, I don't remember if this was an intentional change or if perhaps the GoogleTest project has changed. Were there any issues with this macro's functionality?

Hi. Just dropped this into a work project and works perfectly. Is it ok with you for me to use it in a commercial environment? If so, could you add a licence please? If not, thanks anyway because I can learn from it!

I'll give it a fully public license with no restrictions. (I know I don't need to manage more licenses in my commercial projects!) I may also do a pull request into GTest itself to see if they want to adopt it.

Great! Thanks a lot.
