BuiltInDefaultValue issue with boost::tuple and non-default constructor

[Erica Bradnick]

I am migrating code from C++98 to C++11 and running into a compile error with gmock (compiles fine C++98, the BuiltInDefaultValueGetter is causing me problems in C++11). Please advise how I can code this mock to prevent the DefaultGet() being compiled.

Classes involved:

• boost's tuple (boost 1.59)
• another team's class with no default constructor (AnotherGroupsClass) ... takes two ints.
• another team's class with typedef of boost::tuple<bool, AnotherGroupsClass> ... 

When I mock out my class with a function that returns this boost::tuple, gmock (through std::is_default_constructible) thinks it can.

Have you run into issues like this? I would prefer to fix it on my side, but if it requires changes to AnotherGroupsClass, its a 50-50 chance they can change. Is there a way to disable the C++11 BuiltInDefaultValueGetter?

Thanks much,
