Prior to this change, we were linking the log_actions program against the stub library, since we needed to use the logging capabilities in the stub library to save the expected values to a file for the test harness to use. However, doing so gives us the following warning: *** Warning: Linking the executable x52test_log_actions against the loadable module *** libusbx52.so is not portable! Since we don't really need to have dynamic linking in this case, simply including the stub library source into the log_actions program sources list is sufficient, and bypasses this warning. |

LibUSB mocker library
This folder contains a convenience library to mock the API of libusb. This is intended to be used as an LD_PRELOAD library when used by automated tests to verify the library without needing actual hardware to verify the tests.
While a manual test using real hardware is valuable, running some automated tests in an environment where the hardware is not available is equally valuable, especially if the source code is changing frequently.
Note that the API exported by the mocker is limited to the API used by libx52, as writing a complete USB simulator stack in software is not an easy job, nor is it necessary for the purposes of this project.
