xUnit testing framework for C

Question

I'm developing a fairly simple C project for an embedded device. I'd like to employ xUnit testing. I've settled down with the Check framework (http://check.sourceforge.net/), but it seems it doesn't support function stubs. I remember using a very syntactically similar framework a few years ago that supported stubs, but i can't remember its name.

So, can anyone suggest an xUnit framework for C that supports stubs? A way to imitate stubs while using Check library would be OK, too.

Could you explain more precisely what do you mean by function stubs? — Péter Török, Mar 01 '10 at 10:50
I want to be able to substitute certain function calls with my own ones. E.g., let's consider a case when i need to take a look at my program's behaviour when file() returns NULL. So, i want to be able to implement a file_fail() stub and then tell the framework to replace all file() calls with file_fail() ones. — Roman Dmitrienko, Mar 02 '10 at 12:40

Cgreen supports mock functions, is this what you want?
