Also, follow up with the post on sequencing for examples on how to restrict or relax allowed sequences of matching calls.

Teaser

#include <trompeloeil.hpp>

class Interface
{
public:
  virtual ~Interface() = default;
  virtual bool foo(int, std::string& s) = 0;
  virtual bool bar(int) = 0;
  virtual bool bar(std::string) = 0;
};

void interface_func(Interface*); // function to test

class Mock : public Interface
{
public:
  MAKE_MOCK2(foo, bool(int, std::string&),override);
  MAKE_MOCK1(bar, bool(int),override);
  MAKE_MOCK1(bar, bool(std::string),override);
  MAKE_MOCK0(baz, void()); // not from Interface
};

TEST(exercise_interface_func)
{
  using trompeloeil::_;  // wild card for matching any value
  using trompeloeil::gt; // greater-than match

  Mock m;

  trompeloeil::sequence seq1, seq2;  // control order of matching calls

  int local_var = 0;

  REQUIRE_CALL(m, bar(ANY(int)))     // expect call to m.bar(int)
    .LR_SIDE_EFFECT(local_var = _1)  // set captured variable to value of param
    .RETURN(_1 > 0)                  // return value depending on param value
    .IN_SEQUENCE(seq1)               // must be first match for seq1
    .TIMES(AT_LEAST(1));             // can be called several times

  FORBID_CALL(m, bar(0));            // but m.bar(0) is not allowed

  REQUIRE_CALL(m, bar("word"))       // expect one call to m.bar(std::string)
    .RETURN(true)
    .IN_SEQUENCE(seq2);              // must be first match for seq2

  REQUIRE_CALL(m, foo(gt(2), _))     // expect call to foo(int,std::string&)
    .WITH(_2 == "")                  // with int > 2 and empty string
    .IN_SEQUENCE(seq1, seq2)         // last for both seq1 and seq2
    .SIDE_EFFECT(_2 = "cat")         // and set param string to "cat"
    .RETURN(true);

  interface_func(&m);

  // all the above expectations must be fulfilled here

How to contribute

Contributions are most welcome. For new functionality, please file an issue as an enhancement request first, to get a discussion going about how to best implement it. Also for bugfixes, it is good to file an issue, so that others can see what the problem is and when it's solved. Internal changes are normally not mentioned in the ChangeLog - it should typically reflect what a user can see (however, performance improvements and silencing warnings are visible for users.) Feel free to add your name to the copyright blurb.
