mockrs Crate Documentation

Overview

The mockrs crate provides a powerful tool for function mocking and interception in Rust, specifically designed for the x86_64 architecture. This utility is particularly useful for testing and debugging purposes, where you need to replace the behavior of a function temporarily.

Key Features

• Function Mocking: Replace the functionality of a function with a mock implementation.
• Thread-Local Storage: Keeps track of mocks on a per-thread basis.

Usage

To use the mockrs, include it in your Cargo.toml and then import it in your Rust code.

[dependencies]
mockrs = "1.*" # Replace with the actual version number

Basic Example

Here's a simple example of how to use the mockrs to mock the add function:

use mockrs::mock;

fn add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
    a + b
}

fn mock_add(_a: i64, _b: i64) -> i64 {
    100
}

fn main() {
    assert_eq!(add(1, 2), 3);
    let mocker = mock!(add, mock_add);
    assert_eq!(add(1, 2), 100);
    drop(mocker);
    assert_eq!(add(1, 2), 3);
}

API Reference

X8664Mocker

The X8664Mocker struct is the core of the crate, providing the functionality to mock functions.

• pub fn mock(old_func: usize, new_func: usize) -> X8664Mocker: Creates a new instance of X8664Mocker to mock the specified function.

mock! Macro

A convenient macro to create a new X8664Mocker instance.

• mock!($old_func:expr, $new_func:expr): Replaces the original function $old_func with the new function $new_func.

Safety and Considerations

• The mockrs operates at a low level, manipulating memory and handling signals. Use it with caution and ensure that the original and new functions have compatible signatures.
• This crate is designed for use on the x86_64 architecture only.
