-## Specifying Calling Conventions for Mock Functions ##
+#### Specifying Calling Conventions for Mock Functions
+
+If your mock function doesn't use the default calling convention, you can
+specify it by adding `Calltype(convention)` to `MOCK_METHOD`'s 4th parameter.
+For example,
-If your mock function doesn't use the default calling convention, you
-can specify it by appending `_WITH_CALLTYPE` to any of the macros
-described in the previous two sections and supplying the calling
-convention as the first argument to the macro. For example,
```cpp
- MOCK_METHOD1_WITH_CALLTYPE(STDMETHODCALLTYPE, Foo, bool(int n));
- MOCK_CONST_METHOD2_WITH_CALLTYPE(STDMETHODCALLTYPE, Bar, int(double x, double y));
+ MOCK_METHOD(bool, Foo, (int n), (Calltype(STDMETHODCALLTYPE)));
+ MOCK_METHOD(int, Bar, (double x, double y),
+ (const, Calltype(STDMETHODCALLTYPE)));
```
+
where `STDMETHODCALLTYPE` is defined by `<objbase.h>` on Windows.

-The typical flow is:
- 1. Import the Google Mock names you need to use. All Google Mock names are in the `testing` namespace unless they are macros or otherwise noted.
- 1. Create the mock objects.
- 1. Optionally, set the default actions of the mock objects.
- 1. Set your expectations on the mock objects (How will they be called? What wil they do?).
- 1. Exercise code that uses the mock objects; if necessary, check the result using [Google Test](../../googletest/) assertions.
- 1. When a mock objects is destructed, Google Mock automatically verifies that all expectations on it have been satisfied.

-# Setting Default Actions #

-Google Mock has a **built-in default action** for any function that
-returns `void`, `bool`, a numeric value, or a pointer.
+gMock has a **built-in default action** for any function that returns `void`,
+`bool`, a numeric value, or a pointer. In C++11, it will additionally returns
+the default-constructed value, if one exists for the given type.
+
+To customize the default action for functions with return type *`T`*:
-To customize the default action for functions with return type `T` globally:
```cpp
using ::testing::DefaultValue;
// Sets the default value to be returned. T must be CopyConstructible.
DefaultValue<T>::Set(value);
// Sets a factory. Will be invoked on demand. T must be MoveConstructible.
-// T MakeT();
+// T MakeT();
DefaultValue<T>::SetFactory(&MakeT);
// ... use the mocks ...
// Resets the default value.
DefaultValue<T>::Clear();
```
-To customize the default action for a particular method, use `ON_CALL()`:
+Example usage:
+
```cpp
-ON_CALL(mock_object, method(matchers))
- .With(multi_argument_matcher) ?
- .WillByDefault(action);
+ // Sets the default action for return type std::unique_ptr<Buzz> to
+ // creating a new Buzz every time.
+ DefaultValue<std::unique_ptr<Buzz>>::SetFactory(
+ [] { return MakeUnique<Buzz>(AccessLevel::kInternal); });
+
+ // When this fires, the default action of MakeBuzz() will run, which
+ // will return a new Buzz object.
+ EXPECT_CALL(mock_buzzer_, MakeBuzz("hello")).Times(AnyNumber());
+
+ auto buzz1 = mock_buzzer_.MakeBuzz("hello");
+ auto buzz2 = mock_buzzer_.MakeBuzz("hello");
+ EXPECT_NE(nullptr, buzz1);
+ EXPECT_NE(nullptr, buzz2);
+ EXPECT_NE(buzz1, buzz2);
+
+ // Resets the default action for return type std::unique_ptr<Buzz>,
+ // to avoid interfere with other tests.
+ DefaultValue<std::unique_ptr<Buzz>>::Clear();
```
-# Setting Expectations #
+To customize the default action for a particular method of a specific mock
+object, use `ON_CALL()`. `ON_CALL()` has a similar syntax to `EXPECT_CALL()`,
+but it is used for setting default behaviors (when you do not require that the
+mock method is called). See go/prefer-on-call for a more detailed discussion.
-`EXPECT_CALL()` sets **expectations** on a mock method (How will it be
-called? What will it do?):
```cpp
-EXPECT_CALL(mock_object, method(matchers))
- .With(multi_argument_matcher) ?
- .Times(cardinality) ?
- .InSequence(sequences) *
- .After(expectations) *
- .WillOnce(action) *
- .WillRepeatedly(action) ?
- .RetiresOnSaturation(); ?
+ON_CALL(mock-object, method(matchers))
+ .With(multi-argument-matcher) ?
+ .WillByDefault(action);
```
-If `Times()` is omitted, the cardinality is assumed to be:
+### Setting Expectations {#ExpectCall}
- * `Times(1)` when there is neither `WillOnce()` nor `WillRepeatedly()`;
- * `Times(n)` when there are `n WillOnce()`s but no `WillRepeatedly()`, where `n` >= 1; or
- * `Times(AtLeast(n))` when there are `n WillOnce()`s and a `WillRepeatedly()`, where `n` >= 0.
-
-A method with no `EXPECT_CALL()` is free to be invoked _any number of times_, and the default action will be taken each time.
-
-# Matchers #
-
-A **matcher** matches a _single_ argument. You can use it inside
-`ON_CALL()` or `EXPECT_CALL()`, or use it to validate a value
-directly:
-
-| Matcher | Description |
-|:--------|:------------|
-| `EXPECT_THAT(value, matcher)` | Asserts that `value` matches `matcher`. |
-| `ASSERT_THAT(value, matcher)` | The same as `EXPECT_THAT(value, matcher)`, except that it generates a **fatal** failure. |
-
-Built-in matchers (where `argument` is the function argument) are
-divided into several categories:
-
-## Wildcard ##
-| Matcher | Description |
-|:--------|:------------|
-|`_`|`argument` can be any value of the correct type.|
-|`A<type>()` or `An<type>()`|`argument` can be any value of type `type`. |
-
-## Generic Comparison ##
-
-| Matcher | Description |
-|:---------------------|:------------------|
-|`Eq(value)` or `value`|`argument == value`|
-|`Ge(value)` |`argument >= value`|
-|`Gt(value)` |`argument > value` |
-|`Le(value)` |`argument <= value`|
-|`Lt(value)` |`argument < value` |
-|`Ne(value)` |`argument != value`|
-|`IsNull()` |`argument` is a `NULL` pointer (raw or smart).|
-|`NotNull()` |`argument` is a non-null pointer (raw or smart).|
-|`Optional(m)` |`argument` is `optional<>` that contains a value matching `m`.|
-|`VariantWith<T>(m)` |`argument` is `variant<>` that holds the alternative of type T with a value matching `m`.|
-|`Ref(variable)` |`argument` is a reference to `variable`.|
-|`TypedEq<type>(value)`|`argument` has type `type` and is equal to `value`. You may need to use this instead of `Eq(value)` when the mock function is overloaded.|
-
-Except `Ref()`, these matchers make a _copy_ of `value` in case it's
-modified or destructed later. If the compiler complains that `value`
-doesn't have a public copy constructor, try wrap it in `ByRef()`,
-e.g. `Eq(ByRef(non_copyable_value))`. If you do that, make sure
-`non_copyable_value` is not changed afterwards, or the meaning of your
-matcher will be changed.
-
-## Floating-Point Matchers ##
-
-| Matcher | Description |
-|:-------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-|`DoubleEq(a_double)`|`argument` is a `double` value approximately equal to `a_double`, treating two NaNs as unequal. |
-|`FloatEq(a_float)` |`argument` is a `float` value approximately equal to `a_float`, treating two NaNs as unequal. |
-|`NanSensitiveDoubleEq(a_double)`|`argument` is a `double` value approximately equal to `a_double`, treating two NaNs as equal. |
-|`NanSensitiveFloatEq(a_float)`|`argument` is a `float` value approximately equal to `a_float`, treating two NaNs as equal. |
-
-The above matchers use ULP-based comparison (the same as used in
-[Google Test](../../googletest/)). They
-automatically pick a reasonable error bound based on the absolute
-value of the expected value. `DoubleEq()` and `FloatEq()` conform to
-the IEEE standard, which requires comparing two NaNs for equality to
-return false. The `NanSensitive*` version instead treats two NaNs as
-equal, which is often what a user wants.
-
-| Matcher | Description |
-|:--------|:------------|
-|`DoubleNear(a_double, max_abs_error)`|`argument` is a `double` value close to `a_double` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as unequal.|
-|`FloatNear(a_float, max_abs_error)`|`argument` is a `float` value close to `a_float` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as unequal.|
-|`NanSensitiveDoubleNear(a_double, max_abs_error)`|`argument` is a `double` value close to `a_double` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as equal.|
-|`NanSensitiveFloatNear(a_float, max_abs_error)`|`argument` is a `float` value close to `a_float` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as equal.|
-
-## String Matchers ##
-
-The `argument` can be either a C string or a C++ string object:
-
-| Matcher | Description |
-|:----------------------|:--------------------------------------------------|
-|`ContainsRegex(string)`|`argument` matches the given regular expression. |
-|`EndsWith(suffix)` |`argument` ends with string `suffix`. |
-|`HasSubstr(string)` |`argument` contains `string` as a sub-string. |
-|`MatchesRegex(string)` |`argument` matches the given regular expression with the match starting at the first character and ending at the last character.|
-|`StartsWith(prefix)` |`argument` starts with string `prefix`. |
-|`StrCaseEq(string)` |`argument` is equal to `string`, ignoring case. |
-|`StrCaseNe(string)` |`argument` is not equal to `string`, ignoring case.|
-|`StrEq(string)` |`argument` is equal to `string`. |
-|`StrNe(string)` |`argument` is not equal to `string`. |
-
-`ContainsRegex()` and `MatchesRegex()` use the regular expression
-syntax defined
-[here](../../googletest/docs/advanced.md#regular-expression-syntax).
-`StrCaseEq()`, `StrCaseNe()`, `StrEq()`, and `StrNe()` work for wide
-strings as well.
-
-## Container Matchers ##
-
-Most STL-style containers support `==`, so you can use
-`Eq(expected_container)` or simply `expected_container` to match a
-container exactly. If you want to write the elements in-line,
-match them more flexibly, or get more informative messages, you can use:
-
-| Matcher | Description |
-|:--------|:------------|
-| `ContainerEq(container)` | The same as `Eq(container)` except that the failure message also includes which elements are in one container but not the other. |
-| `Contains(e)` | `argument` contains an element that matches `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher. |
-| `Each(e)` | `argument` is a container where _every_ element matches `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher. |
-| `ElementsAre(e0, e1, ..., en)` | `argument` has `n + 1` elements, where the i-th element matches `ei`, which can be a value or a matcher. 0 to 10 arguments are allowed. |
-| `ElementsAreArray({ e0, e1, ..., en })`, `ElementsAreArray(array)`, or `ElementsAreArray(array, count)` | The same as `ElementsAre()` except that the expected element values/matchers come from an initializer list, STL-style container, or C-style array. |
-| `IsEmpty()` | `argument` is an empty container (`container.empty()`). |
-| `Pointwise(m, container)` | `argument` contains the same number of elements as in `container`, and for all i, (the i-th element in `argument`, the i-th element in `container`) match `m`, which is a matcher on 2-tuples. E.g. `Pointwise(Le(), upper_bounds)` verifies that each element in `argument` doesn't exceed the corresponding element in `upper_bounds`. See more detail below. |
-| `SizeIs(m)` | `argument` is a container whose size matches `m`. E.g. `SizeIs(2)` or `SizeIs(Lt(2))`. |
-| `UnorderedElementsAre(e0, e1, ..., en)` | `argument` has `n + 1` elements, and under some permutation each element matches an `ei` (for a different `i`), which can be a value or a matcher. 0 to 10 arguments are allowed. |
-| `UnorderedElementsAreArray({ e0, e1, ..., en })`, `UnorderedElementsAreArray(array)`, or `UnorderedElementsAreArray(array, count)` | The same as `UnorderedElementsAre()` except that the expected element values/matchers come from an initializer list, STL-style container, or C-style array. |
-| `WhenSorted(m)` | When `argument` is sorted using the `<` operator, it matches container matcher `m`. E.g. `WhenSorted(ElementsAre(1, 2, 3))` verifies that `argument` contains elements `1`, `2`, and `3`, ignoring order. |
-| `WhenSortedBy(comparator, m)` | The same as `WhenSorted(m)`, except that the given comparator instead of `<` is used to sort `argument`. E.g. `WhenSortedBy(std::greater<int>(), ElementsAre(3, 2, 1))`. |
-
-Notes:
-
- * These matchers can also match:
- 1. a native array passed by reference (e.g. in `Foo(const int (&a)[5])`), and
- 1. an array passed as a pointer and a count (e.g. in `Bar(const T* buffer, int len)` -- see [Multi-argument Matchers](#multiargument-matchers)).
- * The array being matched may be multi-dimensional (i.e. its elements can be arrays).
- * `m` in `Pointwise(m, ...)` should be a matcher for `::testing::tuple<T, U>` where `T` and `U` are the element type of the actual container and the expected container, respectively. For example, to compare two `Foo` containers where `Foo` doesn't support `operator==` but has an `Equals()` method, one might write:
+`EXPECT_CALL()` sets **expectations** on a mock method (How will it be called?
+What will it do?):
```cpp
-using ::testing::get;
-MATCHER(FooEq, "") {
- return get<0>(arg).Equals(get<1>(arg));
-}
-...
-EXPECT_THAT(actual_foos, Pointwise(FooEq(), expected_foos));
+EXPECT_CALL(mock-object, method (matchers)?)
+ .With(multi-argument-matcher) ?
+ .Times(cardinality) ?
+ .InSequence(sequences) *
+ .After(expectations) *
+ .WillOnce(action) *
+ .WillRepeatedly(action) ?
+ .RetiresOnSaturation(); ?
```
-## Member Matchers ##
-
-| Matcher | Description |
-|:--------|:------------|
-|`Field(&class::field, m)`|`argument.field` (or `argument->field` when `argument` is a plain pointer) matches matcher `m`, where `argument` is an object of type _class_.|
-|`Key(e)`|`argument.first` matches `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher. E.g. `Contains(Key(Le(5)))` can verify that a `map` contains a key `<= 5`.|
-|`Pair(m1, m2)`|`argument` is an `std::pair` whose `first` field matches `m1` and `second` field matches `m2`.|
-|`Property(&class::property, m)`|`argument.property()` (or `argument->property()` when `argument` is a plain pointer) matches matcher `m`, where `argument` is an object of type _class_.|
-
-## Matching the Result of a Function or Functor ##
-
-| Matcher | Description |
-|:---------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------|
-|`ResultOf(f, m)`|`f(argument)` matches matcher `m`, where `f` is a function or functor.|
+If `(matchers)` is omitted, the expectation is the same as if the matchers were
+set to anything matchers (for example, `(_, _, _, _)` for a four-arg method).
-## Pointer Matchers ##
-
-| Matcher | Description |
-|:------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-|`Pointee(m)` |`argument` (either a smart pointer or a raw pointer) points to a value that matches matcher `m`.|
-|`WhenDynamicCastTo<T>(m)`| when `argument` is passed through `dynamic_cast<T>()`, it matches matcher `m`. |
-
-## Multiargument Matchers ##
+If `Times()` is omitted, the cardinality is assumed to be:
-Technically, all matchers match a _single_ value. A "multi-argument"
-matcher is just one that matches a _tuple_. The following matchers can
-be used to match a tuple `(x, y)`:
+* `Times(1)` when there is neither `WillOnce()` nor `WillRepeatedly()`;
+* `Times(n)` when there are `n` `WillOnce()`s but no `WillRepeatedly()`, where
+ `n` >= 1; or
+* `Times(AtLeast(n))` when there are `n` `WillOnce()`s and a
+ `WillRepeatedly()`, where `n` >= 0.
+
+A method with no `EXPECT_CALL()` is free to be invoked *any number of times*,
+and the default action will be taken each time.

+The `argument` can be either a C string or a C++ string object:
-You can use the following selectors to pick a subset of the arguments
-(or reorder them) to participate in the matching:
+| Matcher | Description |
+| :---------------------- | :------------------------------------------------- |
+| `ContainsRegex(string)` | `argument` matches the given regular expression. |
+| `EndsWith(suffix)` | `argument` ends with string `suffix`. |
+| `HasSubstr(string)` | `argument` contains `string` as a sub-string. |
+| `MatchesRegex(string)` | `argument` matches the given regular expression |
+: : with the match starting at the first character and :
+: : ending at the last character. :
+| `StartsWith(prefix)` | `argument` starts with string `prefix`. |
+| `StrCaseEq(string)` | `argument` is equal to `string`, ignoring case. |
+| `StrCaseNe(string)` | `argument` is not equal to `string`, ignoring |
+: : case. :
+| `StrEq(string)` | `argument` is equal to `string`. |
+| `StrNe(string)` | `argument` is not equal to `string`. |
+
+`ContainsRegex()` and `MatchesRegex()` take ownership of the `RE` object. They
+use the regular expression syntax defined
+[here](http://go/gunit-advanced-regex). `StrCaseEq()`, `StrCaseNe()`, `StrEq()`,
+and `StrNe()` work for wide strings as well.
+
+#### Container Matchers
+
+Most STL-style containers support `==`, so you can use `Eq(expected_container)`
+or simply `expected_container` to match a container exactly. If you want to
+write the elements in-line, match them more flexibly, or get more informative
+messages, you can use:
+
+| Matcher | Description |
+| :----------------------------------- | :----------------------------------- |
+| `ContainerEq(container)` | The same as `Eq(container)` except |
+: : that the failure message also :
+: : includes which elements are in one :
+: : container but not the other. :
+| `Contains(e)` | `argument` contains an element that |
+: : matches `e`, which can be either a :
+: : value or a matcher. :
+| `Each(e)` | `argument` is a container where |
+: : _every_ element matches `e`, which :
+: : can be either a value or a matcher. :
+| `ElementsAre(e0, e1, ..., en)` | `argument` has `n + 1` elements, |
+: : where the i-th element matches `ei`, :
+: : which can be a value or a matcher. 0 :
+: : to 10 arguments are allowed. :
+| `ElementsAreArray({ e0, e1, ..., en | The same as `ElementsAre()` except |
+: })`, `ElementsAreArray(array)`, or : that the expected element :
+: `ElementsAreArray(array, count)` : values/matchers come from an :
+: : initializer list, STL-style :
+: : container, or C-style array. :
+| `IsEmpty()` | `argument` is an empty container |
+: : (`container.empty()`). :
+| `Pointwise(m, container)` | `argument` contains the same number |
+: : of elements as in `container`, and :
+: : for all i, (the i-th element in :
+: : `argument`, the i-th element in :
+: : `container`) match `m`, which is a :
+: : matcher on 2-tuples. E.g. :
+: : `Pointwise(Le(), upper_bounds)` :
+: : verifies that each element in :
+: : `argument` doesn't exceed the :
+: : corresponding element in :
+: : `upper_bounds`. See more detail :
+: : below. :
+| `SizeIs(m)` | `argument` is a container whose size |
+: : matches `m`. E.g. `SizeIs(2)` or :
+: : `SizeIs(Lt(2))`. :
+| `UnorderedElementsAre(e0, e1, ..., | `argument` has `n + 1` elements, and |
+: en)` : under some permutation each element :
+: : matches an `ei` (for a different :
+: : `i`), which can be a value or a :
+: : matcher. 0 to 10 arguments are :
+: : allowed. :
+| `UnorderedElementsAreArray({ e0, e1, | The same as `UnorderedElementsAre()` |
+: ..., en })`, : except that the expected element :
+: `UnorderedElementsAreArray(array)`, : values/matchers come from an :
+: or `UnorderedElementsAreArray(array, : initializer list, STL-style :
+: count)` : container, or C-style array. :
+| `WhenSorted(m)` | When `argument` is sorted using the |
+: : `<` operator, it matches container :
+: : matcher `m`. E.g. :
+: : `WhenSorted(ElementsAre(1, 2, 3))` :
+: : verifies that `argument` contains :
+: : elements `1`, `2`, and `3`, ignoring :
+: : order. :
+| `WhenSortedBy(comparator, m)` | The same as `WhenSorted(m)`, except |
+: : that the given comparator instead of :
+: : `<` is used to sort `argument`. E.g. :
+: : `WhenSortedBy(std\:\:greater<int>(), :
+: : ElementsAre(3, 2, 1))`. :
-| Matcher | Description |
-|:--------|:------------|
-|`AllArgs(m)`|Equivalent to `m`. Useful as syntactic sugar in `.With(AllArgs(m))`.|
-|`Args<N1, N2, ..., Nk>(m)`|The tuple of the `k` selected (using 0-based indices) arguments matches `m`, e.g. `Args<1, 2>(Eq())`.|
+**Notes:**
-## Composite Matchers ##
+* These matchers can also match:
+ 1. a native array passed by reference (e.g. in `Foo(const int (&a)[5])`),
+ and
+ 2. an array passed as a pointer and a count (e.g. in `Bar(const T* buffer,
+ int len)` -- see [Multi-argument Matchers](#MultiArgMatchers)).
+* The array being matched may be multi-dimensional (i.e. its elements can be
+ arrays).
+* `m` in `Pointwise(m, ...)` should be a matcher for `::std::tuple<T, U>`
+ where `T` and `U` are the element type of the actual container and the
+ expected container, respectively. For example, to compare two `Foo`
+ containers where `Foo` doesn't support `operator==`, one might write:
+
+ ```cpp
+ using ::std::get;
+ MATCHER(FooEq, "") {
+ return std::get<0>(arg).Equals(std::get<1>(arg));
+ }
+ ...
+ EXPECT_THAT(actual_foos, Pointwise(FooEq(), expected_foos));
+ ```
+
+#### Member Matchers
+
+| Matcher | Description |
+| :------------------------------ | :----------------------------------------- |
+| `Field(&class::field, m)` | `argument.field` (or `argument->field` |
+: : when `argument` is a plain pointer) :
+: : matches matcher `m`, where `argument` is :
+: : an object of type _class_. :
+| `Key(e)` | `argument.first` matches `e`, which can be |
+: : either a value or a matcher. E.g. :
+: : `Contains(Key(Le(5)))` can verify that a :
+: : `map` contains a key `<= 5`. :
+| `Pair(m1, m2)` | `argument` is an `std::pair` whose `first` |
+: : field matches `m1` and `second` field :
+: : matches `m2`. :
+| `Property(&class::property, m)` | `argument.property()` (or |
+: : `argument->property()` when `argument` is :
+: : a plain pointer) matches matcher `m`, :
+: : where `argument` is an object of type :
+: : _class_. :
+
+#### Matching the Result of a Function, Functor, or Callback
+
+| Matcher | Description |
+| :--------------- | :------------------------------------------------ |
+| `ResultOf(f, m)` | `f(argument)` matches matcher `m`, where `f` is a |
+: : function or functor. :
+
+#### Pointer Matchers
+
+| Matcher | Description |
+| :------------------------ | :---------------------------------------------- |
+| `Pointee(m)` | `argument` (either a smart pointer or a raw |
+: : pointer) points to a value that matches matcher :
+: : `m`. :
+| `WhenDynamicCastTo<T>(m)` | when `argument` is passed through |
+: : `dynamic_cast<T>()`, it matches matcher `m`. :
+
+#### Multi-argument Matchers {#MultiArgMatchers}
+
+Technically, all matchers match a *single* value. A "multi-argument" matcher is
+just one that matches a *tuple*. The following matchers can be used to match a
+tuple `(x, y)`:
+
+Matcher | Description
+:------ | :----------
+`Eq()` | `x == y`
+`Ge()` | `x >= y`
+`Gt()` | `x > y`
+`Le()` | `x <= y`
+`Lt()` | `x < y`
+`Ne()` | `x != y`
+
+You can use the following selectors to pick a subset of the arguments (or
+reorder them) to participate in the matching:

+: : indices) arguments matches `m`, e.g. `Args<1, :
+: : 2>(Eq())`. :
+
+#### Composite Matchers
You can make a matcher from one or more other matchers:
-| Matcher | Description |
-|:-----------------------|:------------------------------------------------------------|
-|`AllOf(m1, m2, ..., mn)`|`argument` matches all of the matchers `m1` to `mn`. |

+#### Using a Function, Functor, Lambda, or Callback as an Action
+
+In the following, by "callable" we mean a free function, `std::function`,
+functor, lambda, or `google3`-style permanent callback.
+
+| Matcher | Description |
+| :---------------------------------- | :------------------------------------- |
+| `Invoke(f)` | Invoke `f` with the arguments passed |

+: : function or a functor, with the `k` :
+: : arguments. :
+
+The return value of the invoked function is used as the return value of the
+action.
+
+When defining a callable to be used with `Invoke*()`, you can declare any unused
+parameters as `Unused`:
-In `InvokeArgument<N>(...)`, if an argument needs to be passed by reference, wrap it inside `ByRef()`. For example,
```cpp
- InvokeArgument<2>(5, string("Hi"), ByRef(foo))
+using ::testing::Invoke;
+double Distance(Unused, double x, double y) { return sqrt(x*x + y*y); }
+...
+EXPECT_CALL(mock, Foo("Hi", _, _)).WillOnce(Invoke(Distance));
```
-calls the mock function's #2 argument, passing to it `5` and `string("Hi")` by value, and `foo` by reference.
-## Default Action ##
+`Invoke(callback)` and `InvokeWithoutArgs(callback)` take ownership of
+`callback`, which must be permanent. The type of `callback` must be a base
