ALLOW_VALIDATE

This macro will add a function to the list of functions, for which function calls are allowed and always considered valid. Function calls to this function are always replaced with function calls to a specfified mock function.

Syntax:
ALLOW_VALIDATE(function, mock)
Parameters:

function
A function used by the unit. The function can have any prototype.
mock
The function that will be called instead of function. The mock must have same prototype as the function it mocks.
Returns:
-

All function calls to function are considered valid, and they will be redirected to mock for the duration of the test.

While mock is executing it is possible for the mock function to call function. Function calls made from an active mock do not apply to any of ALLOW, ALLOW_SIMULATE, ALLOW_VALIDATE, EXPECT, EXPECT_VALIDATE or SIMULATE. If function are not present in unit the default mock will be called. The default mock will return 0.

ALLOW_VALIDATE can be used together with EXPECT, EXPECT_VALIDATE or SIMULATE. If these are used with same function in the same test (or in a test executed from the test), the validation of function calls, setup with these macros, will take precedence until all of the expected function calls has been validated. ALLOW_VALIDATE is valid for the duration of the test. If the test calls other tests, the macro will remain in scope also for these tests. ALLOW_SIMULATE on function will override any earlier allow macros on that function.
