Is there a way to mock special functions like constructor/destructor/assignment with c++/gmock

[hpcx82]

I am using gmock, and try to test if certain specifial functions are correctly called, but I got compiler errors for below:

struct MockObject {
    MOCK_METHOD(void, DoSth, (), ());      // good
    MOCK_METHOD(void, MockObject, (), ()); // Constructor cannot have a return type
    MOCK_METHOD(void, ~MockObject, (), ());// Destructor cannot have a return type
};

A quick glance of the documentation doesn't give much insights - does gmock support mocking of special functions? if not, what would be the recommended way of doing so?

We could workaround this by delegating to another named call:
