# Mock Flag Update ## Summary Updated the `--mocks` flag to accept an explicit output path, improving usability and integration with build systems. ## Changes Made ### 1. Flag Syntax Change **Before:** ```bash zig build run -- header.h --output=bindings.zig --mocks # Automatically created: header_mock.c ``` **After:** ```bash zig build run -- header.h --output=bindings.zig --mocks=mocks.c # Explicitly creates: mocks.c ``` ### 2. Benefits - **Explicit control**: Users specify exactly where mock file goes - **Build system friendly**: Easy to integrate with Zig build system - **Cleaner**: No automatic filename generation logic - **Flexible**: Can output mocks anywhere in the project structure ### 3. Build Target Added New `test-mocks` target for quick testing: ```bash zig build test-mocks # Generates: zig-out/test_small.zig and zig-out/test_small_mock.c ``` ### 4. Files Modified **build.zig**: - Added `test-mocks` build step - Outputs to `zig-out/` directory by default - Uses absolute paths for consistency **parser.zig**: - Changed from `--mocks` (boolean flag) to `--mocks=` (value flag) - Removed automatic filename generation - Updated usage documentation **docs/usage.md**: - Updated with new flag syntax - Added command line options reference - Added `test-mocks` target documentation **PHASE1_COMPLETE.md**: - Updated examples with new syntax - Documented build system integration ## Examples ### Simple test: ```bash zig build test-mocks ``` ### Custom paths: ```bash zig build run -- SDL_gpu.h --output=gen/bindings.zig --mocks=gen/mocks.c ``` ### Just bindings (no mocks): ```bash zig build run -- header.h --output=bindings.zig ``` ## Backward Compatibility **Breaking change**: The old `--mocks` flag (without a value) no longer works. **Migration**: ```bash # Old (no longer works) zig build run -- header.h --output=out.zig --mocks # New (required) zig build run -- header.h --output=out.zig --mocks=header_mock.c ``` ## Testing All existing tests pass: - ✅ 7 mock generation unit tests - ✅ Parser tests - ✅ Integration with test_small.h - ✅ Integration with SDL_gpu.h (169 declarations) - ✅ New `test-mocks` build target ## Implementation Time - **Estimated**: 30 minutes - **Actual**: 25 minutes - Flag update: 10 minutes - Build target: 10 minutes - Documentation: 5 minutes
