C++ Unit Testing: Stubs (not mocks)?

Just getting into Unit Testing with C++. It looks like I will need to write several stub classes as I go along. My understanding is there is a difference between Mocks and Stubs. Basically it seems Mocks are for when you are testing something happened on the object (e.g. verifying) while Stubs just facilitate your test. I guess for mocking, I can use googlemock but I don't see anything in it for creating Stubs (ala RhinoMocks' GenerateStub).

Is there a way to get automatically generated stubs? Does googlemock have any support for stubs? Or do I pretty much have to manually create stubs for testing?

//for linux and windows
#include<iostream>
#include "stub.h"
using namespace std;
int foo(int a)
{   
    cout<<"I am foo"<<endl;
    return 0;
}
int foo_stub(int a)
{   
    cout<<"I am foo_stub"<<endl;
    return 0;
}


int main()
{
    Stub stub;
    stub.set(foo, foo_stub);
    foo(1);
    return 0;
}
