Parentheses around expression in variable assignment causes exception in CMock

bw35 commented 2 years ago

The following statement in a header file causes CMock to raise an exception when generating mocks:

// bug.h
static const unsigned int foo = (1);

// test_bug.c
#include "mock_bug.h"

Without the parentheses, CMock runs fine. Of course the parentheses can be omitted in this simple case, but in other situations with more complex expressions they are required.

Test 'test_bug.c'

We can put this on pile of: CMock only has a regexp and not a whole preprocessor. As a workaround: run your header files through the preprocessor to avoid such syntaxes.

PS: static variable in header file? I hope whoever wrote that burns in hell, since next guy including this file will have to go through it.

Thanks for the suggested workaround

PS: Maybe you didn't note the const static. The compiler computes the value at compile time and uses it directly when optimization is on. Much like a #define, but typed. No memory is allocated, unless the address of the constant is taken.
