| Stubbing and mocking framework for C and C++ based on code generation from headers. Does not imply modification to your existing code, so well suited for legacy code refactoring. In particular, you don't need virtual operations or abstract classes. Can check call parameters, call sequence, handle multiple implementations of a mock, and more. Includes as well a small unit testing framework, with Junit compatible xml output, but works also with any unit testing framework.
