2.5.0

• Added (Always)ReturnValCapt that forces the capture of its parameter by value (even if the function returns a reference) and (Always)ReturnRefCapt that forces the capture of its parameter by reference (even if the function returns a value). #280 #332 #356
  • DEPRECATION NOTICE: Previously, to replicate this functionality, some people used to provide explicit template parameters to Return functions, like .Return<std::string>(str) for a function returning const std::string&. Now ReturnValCapt can be used instead, it is more explicit and safer, all usages of the previous (undocumented / unsupported) hack should be replaced by the new syntax. Same goes for .Return<std::string&>(str) that can now be replaced by ReturnRefCapt.
  • (potentially) BREAKING: Disabled (Always)Return taking an rvalue-reference for functions returning a reference. Most often than not, this was the cause of dangling references. Now it prints a nice error message suggesting to use a safe alternative ((Always)ReturnValCapt).
• Made fakeit::Mock objects move-constructible (and disabled the copy-constructor). #334
• Now objects passed by rvalue-reference to .Return() will be moved, even if they are copyable (i.e. std::move is respected). Before that, objects that were copyable were always copied, independent of how they were passed. #330
• Fixed a compile error on Clang 19. #350
• Fixed some warnings in the library. #322 #355 #358
• Added a macOS runner that tests the library with AppleClang in the CI. Also added a 64 bits MSVC job, but without RTTI-dependent tests, because RTTI-related features of FakeIt aren't supported in MSVC 64 bits. Plus some CI improvements. #319 #321 #333 #335 #352
• Added a tool to help create compilation speed benchmarks. #338
• Fixed some warnings in the tests. #329
