Validating function calls

The implementation of calculate depends upon the functions validate, add, divide, multiply and subtract in order to implement the calculations. For a given test, there is a certain order in which these are executed. This is tested using the macro EXPECT as it is shown in sample4 below.2.1 

  void test_addition(void) {
    EXPECT( invalid );
    EXPECT( invalid );
    EXPECT( add );
    calculate(3,7,'+');
    }
With the EXPECT macro the test developer can indicate to the framework, that this test expects invalid() and add() function calls during calculate. The framework detects the function calls made by calculate and generates the output shown below 
 Executing test test_addition

   Expecting function call to invalid
   Expecting function call to invalid
   Expecting function call to add

   PASSED verify function call to invalid
     expected .......... invalid
     actual ............ invalid

   PASSED verify function call to invalid
     expected .......... invalid
     actual ............ invalid

   PASSED verify function call to add
     expected .......... add
     actual ............ add

 PASSED test test_addition

The calculate function do not see any difference compared to its normal environment.

If the actual and expected function call resolves to a function that is not present in the unit, the framework will report that it is called and return 0 to the unit that is calling it.

If the expected function call resolves to a function that is present in the unit, the framework will simply report that it is called and afterwards call the function.
