C++ Support for FFF Framework

[VinayShirol-eaton]

Hi team,
I am using FFF framework for my project. it is working fine with C. Now my requirement is to use it with C++ here I have couple of doubts,

1. Does fff framework officially support full fledge C++ support.
2. Do we have any example code for the same purpose.

I don't think FFF should be used with C++, or ever support C++. FFF uses linker seam to replace the code being mocked by its mocks/fakes. C++ have other mechanisms, like run-time polymorphism, that are better suited. The GNU linker, for example, uses name mangling, which make it extremely hard to create FFF fakes.

FFF is a fantastic piece of software for the job it proposes to do: create C fakes.

You're better off using a C++ framekwork:

• Google Mock
• CppUMock
