In the official version 3.1 of Hippomocks (https://www.assembla.com/spaces/hippomocks/wiki/Home) there used to be a MockRepository::ClassMock that constructed mocked objects (contrary to MockRepository::InterfaceMock that doesn't) which can be very useful when dealing with non-virtual class methods.
The current version's MockRepository::Mock does what MockRepository::InterfaceMock did in my opinion. Is there any possibility to construct mocked objects with the current version?
Rationale for my not taking the version 3.1: I need the also very useful ExpectCallFunc to test functions that don't belong to classes which was introduced later.
Rationale for not using placement new: Placement new would construct the object after being mocked by Hippomocks thus "resetting" the virtual function table previously altered by Hippomocks.
No, there isn't. You can mock methods and members now, which as far as I could tell should catch all cases where your class needs something to exist. You would use MockRepository::MemberMock(obj, &Class::iValue) to initialize the member.
If you really need ClassMock it's probably best to first think why you need it; in clean TDD it's never necessary so there's something that might need refactoring to avoid that situation. Then again, you can also backport ExpectCallFunc; it's a fairly separate functionality so it should be reasonably backportable. If you do though, take the current git version from Github as it has verified C method mocking for Linux/Windows/Mac X86 and X86-64 and on Raspbian/ARM.
