Also, follow up with the post on
[sequencing](

) for examples on how to restrict or relax allowed sequences of matching calls.

# Teaser

```Cpp
#include

class Interface
{
public:
virtual ~Interface() = default;
virtual bool foo(int, std::string& s) = 0;
virtual bool bar(int) = 0;
virtual bool bar(std::string) = 0;
};

void interface_func(Interface*); // function to test

class Mock : public Interface
{
public:
MAKE_MOCK2(foo, bool(int, std::string&),override);
MAKE_MOCK1(bar, bool(int),override);
MAKE_MOCK1(bar, bool(std::string),override);
MAKE_MOCK0(baz, void()); // not from Interface
};

TEST(exercise_interface_func)
{
using trompeloeil::_; // wild card for matching any value
using trompeloeil::gt; // greater-than match

Mock m;

trompeloeil::sequence seq1, seq2; // control order of matching calls

int local_var = 0;

REQUIRE_CALL(m, bar(ANY(int))) // expect call to m.bar(int)
.LR_SIDE_EFFECT(local_var = _1) // set captured variable to value of param
.RETURN(_1 > 0) // return value depending on param value
.IN_SEQUENCE(seq1) // must be first match for seq1
.TIMES(AT_LEAST(1)); // can be called several times

FORBID_CALL(m, bar(0)); // but m.bar(0) is not allowed

REQUIRE_CALL(m, bar("word")) // expect one call to m.bar(std::string)
.RETURN(true)
.IN_SEQUENCE(seq2); // must be first match for seq2

REQUIRE_CALL(m, foo(gt(2), _)) // expect call to foo(int,std::string&)
.WITH(_2 == "") // with int > 2 and empty string
.IN_SEQUENCE(seq1, seq2) // last for both seq1 and seq2
.SIDE_EFFECT(_2 = "cat") // and set param string to "cat"
.RETURN(true);

interface_func(&m);

// all the above expectations must be fulfilled here
}
```

# Building and running the self test suite

To build the self test suite run `cmake` with `-DTROMPELOEIL_BUILD_TESTS=yes`.
Use the options `CXX_STANDARD` to select which C++ standard to test, and
`SANITIZE` to select sanitizers to build with. Note that the self tests needs a
reasonably modern version of CMake. Example:

```
cmake -B build_dir \
-D TROMPELOEIL_BUILD_TESTS=yes \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
-D CXX_STANDARD=17 \
-D SANITIZE=Address,Undefined \

```

If the build finds a CMake package for `Catch2` it will use that, otherwise it
will download a header-only version of Catch2 v2.x.

```
cmake --build build_dir -t self_test thread_terror custom_recursive_mutex
```

Then run the built binaries:

```
./build_dir/self_test && ./build_dir/thread_terror && ./build_dir/custom_recursive_mutex
```

# How to contribute

Contributions are most welcome. For new functionality, please file an issue as
an enhancement request first, to get a discussion going about how to best
implement it. Also for bugfixes, it is good to file an issue, so that others can
see what the problem is and when it's solved. Internal changes are normally not
mentioned in the ChangeLog - it should typically reflect what a user can see
(however, performance improvements and silencing warnings are visible for
users.) Feel free to add your name to the copyright blurb.

# Compiler compatibility

Trompeloeil is known to work with:

- GCC [4.8.4](docs/Backward.md#gxx48x_limitations)+, 4.9.3+, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
- Clang 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
- Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019

Latest patch level releases are assumed in the versions listed above.

Further details on C++11 support, platform and library limitations, may
be found in
