SIMULATE

This macro will add a function to the list of expected function calls. If the function is called at the expected time, the framework will return the provided value to the unit.

Syntax:
SIMULATE(function, retval)
Parameters:
function
The function that should be called
retval
The value that will be returned to the unit
Returns:
-

The SIMULATE macro is used to instruct the framework that a function call to function is expected during the test. The unit is unaware, that it is actually calling a mock function. If the unit calls the function at the right time, the framework will use the value retval and return it back to the unit. If the framework detects a function call to a function that is not expected at that time, the test will fail. Each time an expected function is correctly called, the framework will remove it from the list. The test will fail, if the list is not empty after the test has completed execution.

The macro is normally used before executing the unit, but if desired, it can also be called from mocks - i.e. during execution of the unit.
