+#### Mock std::function {#MockFunction}
+
+`std::function` is a general function type introduced in C++11. It is a
+preferred way of passing callbacks to new interfaces. Functions are copiable,
+and are not usually passed around by pointer, which makes them tricky to mock.
+But fear not - `MockFunction` can help you with that.
+
+`MockFunction<R(T1, ..., Tn)>` has a mock method `Call()` with the signature:
+
+```cpp
+ R Call(T1, ..., Tn);
+```
+
+It also has a `AsStdFunction()` method, which creates a `std::function` proxy
+forwarding to Call:
+
+```cpp
+ std::function<R(T1, ..., Tn)> AsStdFunction();
+```
+
+To use `MockFunction`, first create `MockFunction` object and set up
+expectations on its `Call` method. Then pass proxy obtained from
+`AsStdFunction()` to the code you are testing. For example:
+
+```cpp
+TEST(FooTest, RunsCallbackWithBarArgument) {
+ // 1. Create a mock object.
+ MockFunction<int(string)> mock_function;
+
+ // 2. Set expectations on Call() method.
+ EXPECT_CALL(mock_function, Call("bar")).WillOnce(Return(1));
+
+ // 3. Exercise code that uses std::function.
+ Foo(mock_function.AsStdFunction());
+ // Foo's signature can be either of:
+ // void Foo(const std::function<int(string)>& fun);
+ // void Foo(std::function<int(string)> fun);
+
+ // 4. All expectations will be verified when mock_function
+ // goes out of scope and is destroyed.
+}
+```
+
+Remember that function objects created with `AsStdFunction()` are just
+forwarders. If you create multiple of them, they will share the same set of
+expectations.
+
+Although `std::function` supports unlimited number of arguments, `MockFunction`
+implementation is limited to ten. If you ever hit that limit... well, your
+callback has bigger problems than being mockable. :-)
