Using Trompeloeil - a mocking framework for modern C++
summary
Trompeloeil is a single-header C++14 mocking framework (≈3.5k lines, Boost license, available via Conan) that avoids UB and supports mocking member functions, templates and move-only types. The demo builds a mock store and Order class with TDD: using make_mock, require_call/allow_call/forbid_call (named variants), times and sequence to control ordering, underscore matcher and positional _1 with LR captures, side_effect and return for behavior, plus custom printing and named expectations to manage lifetime. Tests expose and fix real bugs; the example ends green.
