* Add rudimentary test mocking support.Nick Mathewson2013-07-10
| | | | | | This is not the most beautiful possible implementation (it requires decorating mockable functions with ugly macros), but it actually works, and is portable across multiple compilers and architectures.
* Completely refactor how FILENAME_PRIVATE worksNick Mathewson2013-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We previously used FILENAME_PRIVATE identifiers mostly for identifiers exposed only to the unit tests... but also for identifiers exposed to the benchmarker, and sometimes for identifiers exposed to a similar module, and occasionally for no really good reason at all. Now, we use FILENAME_PRIVATE identifiers for identifiers shared by Tor and the unit tests. They should be defined static when we aren't building the unit test, and globally visible otherwise. (The STATIC macro will keep us honest here.) For identifiers used only by the unit tests and never by Tor at all, on the other hand, we wrap them in #ifdef TOR_UNIT_TESTS. This is not the motivating use case for the split test/non-test build system; it's just a test example to see how it works, and to take a chance to clean up the code a little.
* Start work on fancy compiler tricks to expose extra stuff to our testsNick Mathewson2013-07-10
This is mainly a matter of automake trickery: we build each static library in two versions now: one with the TOR_UNIT_TESTS macro defined, and one without. When TOR_UNIT_TESTS is defined, we can enable mocking and expose more functions. When it's not defined, we can lock the binary down more. The alternatives would be to have alternate build modes: a "testing configuration" for building the libraries with test support, and a "production configuration" for building them without. I don't favor that approach, since I think it would mean more people runnning binaries build for testing, or more people not running unit tests.
