C module stub generator?

[Marco]

Does anyone know of a C stub generator? Prefer open-source and/or free.

This would parse the header .h file and create a .c file with stubbed
out functions.
This is handy for unit testing and interface and test driven
development.

thanks

Not aware of anything that does precisely this, but it'd be trivial to
write in either C or Perl.

There also do exist perl scripts to generate stub functions from
Windows DLLs, and these operate by creating an intermediate file
essentially identical to a header. You could pull the perl down and
examine it.

I hacked a stub generator:

visit comp.sources.d

look for cstub

Why bother? Copy the .h file to a .c file, strip the include
guards and and C++ guards, replace the #defines, and typedefs with
a #include of the .h, and start editing. In fact, copy the .h and
start editing.

Why bother?

primary reason is to stub out code for unit testing that I am not
creating but need to use (like RTOS calls) or an existing HW interface
