Reference to an array parameter in google test/mock framework

Question

I have a member function with a reference to an array output parameter and I would like to use it in google mock, but it does not work. The class: ``` class Class { // returns: number of the rewritten elements in the array int foo(Struct (&bar)[ArraySize]) const; }; ``` The mock class: ``` class MockClass : public Class { MOCK_CONST_METHOD1(foo, int(Struct (&)[ArraySize])); }; ``` When I want to use it I write the following: ``` ON_CALL(mMockClass, foo(_)) .WillByDefault( DoAll( SetArgReferee<0>(mBar) , Return(5) ) ); ``` mBar is an appropriate array of Struct (`Struct mBar[ArraySize];`). When I compile it I get the following error message: ``` ../../../../vendor/gmock-1.7.0/include/gmock/gmock-more-actions.h: In member function ‘typename testing::internal::Function::Result testing::SetArgRefereeActionP::gmock_Impl::gmock_PerformImpl(const typename testing::internal::Function::ArgumentTuple&, arg0_type, arg1_type, arg2_type, arg3_type, arg4_type, arg5_type, arg…

Accepted Answer

UPDATE : Solution

For passing parameter of type array `SetArrayArgument<N>(first, last)`should be used.

Copies the elements in source range [first, last) to the array pointed to by the N-th (0-based) argument, which can be either a pointer or an iterator. The action does not take ownership of the elements in the source range
