About:
Cmockery2 is a unit testing framework for C that revives and modernizes Google's original cmockery library. It provides developers with a lightweight, portable solution for creating mock objects and writing unit tests in C. The framework simplifies testing by offering intuitive macros for setting expectations, verifying calls, and handling memory allocation.

Key Features:

Mock object creation and management
Memory allocation tracking and leak detection
Portable across different platforms and compilers
Simple API with minimal dependencies

Use Cases:

Unit testing C applications with mocked dependencies
Memory leak detection in C codebases
Testing legacy C code without major refactoring

Alternatives:

CMocka – More actively maintained but with different API design
Unity – Simpler framework, lacks built-in mocking capabilities
GoogleTest – C++ focused, heavier weight than cmockery2
