MOCK

Generates a default mock.

Syntax:
MOCK(name)
Parameters:
name
The name of the function that is mocked
Returns:
-

The MOCK macro will generate a mock function called name. The mock function replaces and simulates functions, that are called by the unit but not available during the test. It reports to the framework, whenever a function call to name is detected. This allows the framework to validate, that the parameters are correct, and that the function call occurs at the right time.

The prototype for a mock function can be a function prototype of any kind. The MOCK macro will generate functions taking no parameters and returning nothing, e.g. void name(void). The function it replaces will most likely have another prototype, but the differences are not important to the test.

The instrumenter will normally generate default mock functions for you, but this macro is available, if you are not using the instrumenter.

This macro cannot be used together with earlier prototype declarations of name. If you experience compilation problems due to this, there are two solutions - either use the correct prototype (for the test it does not matter), or use the MOCK macro from within a file, that does not include the real function declaration.
