When compiling in release mode with gcc the folowing error appears:
../subprojects/vunit/vunit.c: In function ‘__vunit_main’:
../subprojects/vunit/vunit.c:96:16: error: variable ‘num’ might be clobbered by ‘longjmp’ or ‘vfork’ [-Werror=clobbered]
96 | size_t num = 0;
| ^~~
This happening because the compiler inlines the function
get_num_tests() called in function the uses setjmp (__vunit_main()).
To fix that, isolate the procedure inside the loop that runs a single
test and has the setjmp.
