C++ Unit Tests, mocking objects
I'm currently looking at some unit test librarys in C++ and have some questions:
there seem to be no mocking facility in boost.test but I can hardly think of doing unit tests without creating mock objects/functions. How would you do that in boost.test, are you doing it manually (how? I mean, there are several ways I can think of, none of these seem nice) or are you simply doing without mock objects?
googletest and googlemock looks like nice libraries with mockingsupport however, it requires every object that shall be mocked to be virtual. I don't really like this, it is not that I'm worrying about the performance (I could define a macro to get it out of production code anyway) but I find this very intrusive. I wonder if there's another solution which does not require that much change to the existing code? (love clojure there)
