Seems alright. I am kind of looking through test frameworks to get rid of our home-grown mess. Was looking at GLib, but I will add this one to the list. I have found finding mocking to be extremely hard to do in C. Would love to drop our current mock stuff.

The author also created a mocking lib : https://github.com/Snaipe/Mimick

I quite like the mocking in ceedling.

A bit off topic - if I wanted to make a gif similar to the one in the README of this project, what tool would I need to use? The typing seems to be automated somehow to be at a constant rate.

Most likely a combination of asciinema https://asciinema.org/ and https://github.com/cirocosta/asciinema-edit (You can do it by hand as well, but the tools are easier). Use the Quantize and speed options

asciinema maybe?

Usually i want to mock classes and functions with these frameworks. gmock just werks for dat.
