Unlike Java or other languages where reflection / introspection is available, mocking is not easy with C++. Even with Google Mock, we need some hand writing.

I solved this problem by using home made class declaration parser/generator that reads the class declaration (header file), then generates a mock class.
What you need is to run the generator and full featured mock class is there for your unit test.
