After the refactoring, the test fixture is only used for creating the object under test and dependencies. This leads to more readable code and allows more flexibility when creating the object under test.

How to write code in the api/
directory
Mostly, just follow the regular style guide, but:
- Note that
api/
code is not exempt from the “.h
and.cc
files come in pairs” rule, so if you declare something inapi/path/to/foo.h
, it should be defined inapi/path/to/foo.cc
. - Headers in
api/
should, if possible, not#include
headers outsideapi/
. It’s not always possible to avoid this, but be aware that it adds to a small mountain of technical debt that we’re trying to shrink. .cc
files inapi/
, on the other hand, are free to#include
headers outsideapi/
.
That is, the preferred way for api/
code to access non-api/
code is to call
it from a .cc
file, so that users of our API headers won’t transitively
#include
non-public headers.
For headers in api/
that need to refer to non-public types, forward
declarations are often a lesser evil than including non-public header files. The
usual rules still apply, though.
.cc
files in api/
should preferably be kept reasonably small. If a
substantial implementation is needed, consider putting it with our non-public
code, and just call it from the api/
.cc
file.
