Mocking volatile methods

[Edgar]

Hello,
I have a class where some methods have the volatile qualifier. Is
there a way to mock these in googleMock?

eg:
virtual int foo() volatile = 0;

Thanks,

To answer my own question it's not possible using the usual
MOCK_METHOD macros.

I've been able to create MOCK_VOLATILE_METHODn macros similar to the
MOCK_METHODn ones.

Are these macros useful enough to be included in gmock? I've only
created MOCK_VOLATILE_METHOD and MOCK_CONST_VOLATILE_METHOD macros, if
done completely it would double the number of method mocking macros.
Is it best to create an "issue" for this?

I created http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/issues/detail?id=122 to
track this.

As you said, implementing MOCK_VOLATILE_METHOD0() and friends
completely will end up with a combinatorial explosion, so it isn't
viable. I think we'll instead provide a more generic family of macros
that require the user to provide more arguments but are more flexible.
Please see the issue for details. Thanks.
