-## Google Mock ##
+# Googletest Mocking (gMock) Framework
-The Google C++ mocking framework.
+### Overview
-### Overview ###
-
-Google's framework for writing and using C++ mock classes.
-It can help you derive better designs of your system and write better tests.
+Google's framework for writing and using C++ mock classes. It can help you
+derive better designs of your system and write better tests.
It is inspired by:
- * [jMock](http://www.jmock.org/),
- * [EasyMock](http://www.easymock.org/), and
- * [Hamcrest](http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/),
+* [jMock](http://www.jmock.org/),
+* [EasyMock](http://www.easymock.org/), and
+* [Hamcrest](http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/),
and designed with C++'s specifics in mind.
-Google mock:
-
- * lets you create mock classes trivially using simple macros.
- * supports a rich set of matchers and actions.
- * handles unordered, partially ordered, or completely ordered expectations.
- * is extensible by users.
-
-We hope you find it useful!
-
-### Features ###
-
- * Provides a declarative syntax for defining mocks.
- * Can easily define partial (hybrid) mocks, which are a cross of real
- and mock objects.
- * Handles functions of arbitrary types and overloaded functions.
- * Comes with a rich set of matchers for validating function arguments.
- * Uses an intuitive syntax for controlling the behavior of a mock.
- * Does automatic verification of expectations (no record-and-replay needed).
- * Allows arbitrary (partial) ordering constraints on
- function calls to be expressed,.
- * Lets a user extend it by defining new matchers and actions.
- * Does not use exceptions.
- * Is easy to learn and use.
-
-Please see the project page above for more information as well as the
-mailing list for questions, discussions, and development. There is
-also an IRC channel on OFTC (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available. Please
-join us!
-
-Please note that code under [scripts/generator](scripts/generator/) is
-from [cppclean](http://code.google.com/p/cppclean/) and released under
-the Apache License, which is different from Google Mock's license.
-
-## Getting Started ##
-
-If you are new to the project, we suggest that you read the user
-documentation in the following order:
-
- * Learn the [basics](../googletest/docs/primer.md) of
- Google Test, if you choose to use Google Mock with it (recommended).
- * Read [Google Mock for Dummies](../googlemock/docs/for_dummies.md).
- * Read the instructions below on how to build Google Mock.
-
-You can also watch Zhanyong's [talk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYpCyLI47rM) on Google Mock's usage and implementation.
-
-Once you understand the basics, check out the rest of the docs:
-
- * [CheatSheet](../googlemock/docs/cheat_sheet.md) - all the commonly used stuff
- at a glance.
- * [CookBook](../googlemock/docs/cook_book.md) - recipes for getting things done,
- including advanced techniques.
-
-If you need help, please check the
-[KnownIssues](docs/known_issues.md) and
-[FrequentlyAskedQuestions](docs/frequently_asked_questions.md) before
-posting a question on the
-[discussion group](http://groups.google.com/group/googlemock).
-
-
-### Using Google Mock Without Google Test ###
-
-Google Mock is not a testing framework itself. Instead, it needs a
-testing framework for writing tests. Google Mock works seamlessly
-with [Google Test](https://github.com/google/googletest), but
-you can also use it with [any C++ testing framework](../googlemock/docs/for_dummies.md#using-google-mock-with-any-testing-framework).
-
-### Requirements for End Users ###
-
-Google Mock is implemented on top of [Google Test](
-http://github.com/google/googletest/), and depends on it.
-You must use the bundled version of Google Test when using Google Mock.
-
-You can also easily configure Google Mock to work with another testing
-framework, although it will still need Google Test. Please read
-["Using_Google_Mock_with_Any_Testing_Framework"](
- ../googlemock/docs/for_dummies.md#using-google-mock-with-any-testing-framework)
-for instructions.
-
-Google Mock depends on advanced C++ features and thus requires a more
-modern compiler. The following are needed to use Google Mock:
-
-#### Linux Requirements ####
-
- * GNU-compatible Make or "gmake"
- * POSIX-standard shell
- * POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h)
- * C++98-standard-compliant compiler (e.g. GCC 3.4 or newer)
-
-#### Windows Requirements ####
-
- * Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 SP1 or newer
-
-#### Mac OS X Requirements ####
-
- * Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer
- * Developer Tools Installed
-
-### Requirements for Contributors ###
-
-We welcome patches. If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to
-build Google Mock and its tests, which has further requirements:
-
- * Automake version 1.9 or newer
- * Autoconf version 2.59 or newer
- * Libtool / Libtoolize
- * Python version 2.3 or newer (for running some of the tests and
- re-generating certain source files from templates)
-
-### Building Google Mock ###
-
-#### Using CMake ####
-
-If you have CMake available, it is recommended that you follow the
-[build instructions][gtest_cmakebuild]
-as described for Google Test.
-
-If are using Google Mock with an
-existing CMake project, the section
-[Incorporating Into An Existing CMake Project][gtest_incorpcmake]
-may be of particular interest.
-To make it work for Google Mock you will need to change
-
- target_link_libraries(example gtest_main)
-
-to
-
- target_link_libraries(example gmock_main)
-
-This works because `gmock_main` library is compiled with Google Test.
-
-
-### Tweaking Google Mock ###
-
-Google Mock can be used in diverse environments. The default
-configuration may not work (or may not work well) out of the box in
-some environments. However, you can easily tweak Google Mock by
-defining control macros on the compiler command line. Generally,
-these macros are named like `GTEST_XYZ` and you define them to either 1
-or 0 to enable or disable a certain feature.
-
-We list the most frequently used macros below. For a complete list,
-see file [${GTEST\_DIR}/include/gtest/internal/gtest-port.h](
-../googletest/include/gtest/internal/gtest-port.h).
-
-### As a Shared Library (DLL) ###
-
-Google Mock is compact, so most users can build and link it as a static
-library for the simplicity. Google Mock can be used as a DLL, but the
-same DLL must contain Google Test as well. See
-[Google Test's README][gtest_readme]
-for instructions on how to set up necessary compiler settings.
-
-### Tweaking Google Mock ###
-
-Most of Google Test's control macros apply to Google Mock as well.
-Please see [Google Test's README][gtest_readme] for how to tweak them.
-
-### Upgrading from an Earlier Version ###
-
-We strive to keep Google Mock releases backward compatible.
-Sometimes, though, we have to make some breaking changes for the
-users' long-term benefits. This section describes what you'll need to
-do if you are upgrading from an earlier version of Google Mock.
-
-#### Upgrading from 1.1.0 or Earlier ####
-
-You may need to explicitly enable or disable Google Test's own TR1
-tuple library. See the instructions in section "[Choosing a TR1 Tuple
-Library](#choosing-a-tr1-tuple-library)".
-
-#### Upgrading from 1.4.0 or Earlier ####
-
-On platforms where the pthread library is available, Google Test and
-Google Mock use it in order to be thread-safe. For this to work, you
-may need to tweak your compiler and/or linker flags. Please see the
-"[Multi-threaded Tests](../googletest/README.md#multi-threaded-tests)" section in file Google Test's README for what you may need to do.
-
-If you have custom matchers defined using `MatcherInterface` or
-`MakePolymorphicMatcher()`, you'll need to update their definitions to
-use the new matcher API (
-[monomorphic](./docs/cook_book.md#writing-new-monomorphic-matchers),
-[polymorphic](./docs/cook_book.md#writing-new-polymorphic-matchers)).
-Matchers defined using `MATCHER()` or `MATCHER_P*()` aren't affected.
-
-Happy testing!
