C++ London Meetup: Dependency Injection and Clang Tooling

Phil Nash organised another C++ London meet-up at SkillsMatter last week. The first talk was by Pete Goldsborough, who gave a rapid overview of the Clang tooling libraries. The second talk was by Kris Jusiak, who talked through the motivation and usage of his Boost::DI dependency injection library. This was more relevant to my work because Kris’s example showed how Boost.DI aims to reduce the overhead in setting up test scenarios for GTest/GMock. I’ve been pretty happy with the way my unit tests look so far, but next time I’ll definitely look at whether his injector object could simplify my code.
