GLib does not do anything special, in this regard.

When running `make check`, Make goes through all the test programs,
builds them, and launches them. Usually, it does it under a test
harness — the default being the TAP harness, which checks the output
and generates a log and a report at the end.

You can just go under each tests/ sub-directory, run `make check` to
build and run each test. If one fails, you can re-run the failing test
by launching the test executable. There's also the option of running
the test under GDB, or similar debuggers, using `libtool --mode
execute`.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
