Constraint

Patterns

Waiting for an asynchronous call

Retrieving an argument to use in a later constraint

Invoking a functor received as parameter

Quickly writing a custom constraint for a serializable type

Limitations

No support for unicode logging

Literal 0 cannot be used as null pointer in constraints

Template methods cannot be mocked

Private virtual methods cannot be mocked without spelling out the signature

Methods with a throw specifier cannot be mocked

Compilers without support for variadic macros fail on commas in BOOST_MOCK_BASE_CLASS

Warning C4505: '...' : unreferenced local function has been removed

Warning C4301: '...': overriding virtual function only differs from '...' by const/volatile qualifier

Warning C4267: 'argument' : conversion from 'size_t' to 'unsigned int', possible loss of data

Using C++11 lambda as constraints requires decltype compiler support

Rationale

General design forces

Exceptions thrown should not extend std::exception

The library interface is based on many macros
