[MO-java-dev] mock objects for c++ started

Hello all,

I just wanted to let you know, that I have started creating a framework for 
c++ very similar to your mock object implementation. 

To be honest, currently it is rather a copy of your latest package which I am 
converting to c++ as good as possible, since I want to have the same 
interfaces to be compatible and make life easier for users using both java 
and c++.

The homepage is at http://mockpp.sf.net but due to my early stage there is 
currently nothing for download yet.

Unfortunatley I am not very familiar with java but I hope to get some 
information here if I get stuck :-)

cheers
Ewald

Cool, I'll try and get an announcement up on www.mockobjects.com sometime next week.

Any chance you could put the code into cvs somewhere even if it doesn't work yet
it'd be nice to see where your going with it. Though I must admit that C++ isn't
my strong point but it might give me a few insights into how things work.

Re: [MO-java-dev] mock objects for c++ started

Hello,

nice to get some feedback :-)

> Any chance you could put the code into cvs somewhere even if it doesn't

I want to convert at least the core files. So I think I will upload this 
weekend for the first time :-) but it certainly not compile..

There are some java related questions:  

- a "synchronized" method is a threadsafe method and provides some form of 
mutual exclusion?

- Verfier.java contains some parameters of type "Field". What does this mean 
and how could one solve this with c++?

I guess there will be more when I really start to make it work.

cheers
Ewald

Yes. Every Object (and everything derives from object) has a built-in 
mutex. "synchronized" methods and blocks acquire the mutex on entry and 
release it on exit.

Hmm, that's using the Java introspection API. C++ doesn't have anything 
like that. I don't think a verifier for an arbitrary class is possible. 
You'll need to make each class call verify for each of its verifiable 
members. Maybe verifiable could take a parameter of a collection to add 
itself to so this is easier.

While C++ may be missing reflection (except for the dynamic casts), you 
might be able to do something interesting with templates and macros. We 
didn't always have the Verifier, so it's perfectly possible to do set up 
the verify method by hand.
