The "steps to test" repo is not public. Can you provide snippets here? |

@eberseth It's in a different org, you should have permissions for it though? |

@avtolstoy Could we merge this for 6.x? There is some future work that would benefit from not having Boost dependencies. |

@eberseth This is only useful for unit testing/mocking.
GCC platform to work does require Boost, this will simply replace proper implementations with empty stubs. |

TODO
Problem
We want to simplify unit testing of libraries or applications that rely on Device OS APIs.
Solution
Build complete GCC platform for the host machine without any external dependencies on e.g. Boost, so that only stubs are generated, which can be easily mocked e.g. with Hippomocks.
NOTE: this requires GCC >= 6, as we need
-fno-pltto enable mocking of symbols coming from shared library.Steps to Test
