RudeMocks is a mocking framework for C++ that allows you to easily 
create mock objects and set up expectations on them using a 
record & replay model by simply calling functions on the mock 
objects.

RudeMocks is inspired by C# mocking frameworks, such as Rhino Mocks 
and TypeMock. The goal of RudeMocks is to nearly eliminate the need 
to write mocks by hand when writing unit tests in C++. It is a 
useful library for test-driven development in C++ and makes writing 
unit tests almost as easy as in Java or C#.

Some of the most important features of RudeMocks are:

 * Easily create mocks for
    o Classes with single inheritance
    o Classes with multiple inheritance
    o Free functions and static member functions
 * Flexible, per-argument expectations
    o Natural syntax to set up expectations (just call the 
      functions on the mocked object as usual)
    o Use operator == to check for equality or fall back to memcmp
    o Ignore specific arguments or all arguments
    o Custom constraints on any argument
    o STL container constraints
 * Classes need not be default constructible (although a default 
   value for classes used as return value types needs to be 
   provided)
 * Fully unit tested

The name RudeMocks comes from the fact that the implementation 
uses inline assembly, which in some C++ circles is considered 
a bit rude. The use of a little bit of assembly makes the 
implementation dependent on the compiler and the CPU architecture.

The current implementation supports x86 CPUs and the Microsoft 
Visual C++ compiler from version 8.0 (Visual Studio 2005) onward.
MingW gcc 4.2.1 (and higher) are also supported. Porting the
library to Linux should be easy (probably just recompile),
however the author hasn't tested this. Contributions in this
area are more than welcome.
A port to the x64 CPU architecture is underway.

RudeMocks only depends on and uses the C++ standard library and 
Boost. It is released under the zlib/libpng license and can be 
used freely in non-commercial and commercial products.
