+Google C++ Mocking Framework
+============================
+http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/
+
+Overview
+--------
+Google's framework for writing and using C++ mock classes on Linux,
+Mac OS X, and Windows. Inspired by jMock, EasyMock, and Hamcrest, and
+designed with C++'s specifics in mind, it can help you derive better
+designs of your system and write better tests.
+
+Google Mock:
+
+- 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, and
+- is easy to learn and use.
+
+Please see the project page above for more information as well as mailing lists
+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/ is from the cppclean
+project (http://code.google.com/p/cppclean/) and under the Apache
+License, which is different from Google Mock's license.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+Google Mock is not a testing framework itself. Instead, it needs a
+testing framework for writing tests. It works with Google Test
+(http://code.google.com/p/googletest/) out of the box. You can use
+either the copy of Google Test that comes with Google Mock, or a
+compatible version you already have. This version of Google Mock
+requires Google Test 1.3.0.
+
+You can also easily configure Google Mock to work with another testing
+framework of your choice; although it will still need Google Test as
+an internal dependency. Please read
+http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/wiki/ForDummies#Using_Google_Mock_with_Any_Testing_Framework
+for how to do it.
+
+Google Mock depends on advanced C++ features and thus requires a more
+modern compiler. The following are needed to use Google Mock:
+
+### Linux Requirements ###
+These are the base requirements to build and use Google Mock from a source
+package (as described below):
+ * GNU-compatible Make or "gmake"
+ * POSIX-standard shell
+ * POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h)
+ * gcc 4.0 or newer, or gcc 3.4 or newer with the tr1 tuple library
+ (from Boost or other vendors).
+
+Furthermore, if you are building Google Mock from a VCS Checkout (also
+described below), there are further requirements:
+ * Automake version 1.9 or newer
+ * Autoconf version 2.59 or newer
+ * Libtool / Libtoolize
+ * Python version 2.3 or newer
+
+### Windows Requirements ###
+ * Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 SP1 or newer
+ * An implementation of the tr1 tuple C++ library (You can get it for
+ free from http://www.boost.org/. We have verified that version
+ 1.36.0 works. One caveat is this implementation exposes a bug in
+ Visual C++'s <type_info> header when exceptions are disabled.
+ Therefore your project must enable exceptions for this
+ configuration to work.)
+
+### Mac OS X Requirements ###
+ * Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer
+ * Developer Tools Installed
+
+Getting the Source
+------------------
+There are two primary ways of getting Google Mock's source code: you can
+download a source release in your preferred archive format, or directly check
+out the source from a Version Control System (VCS, we use Google Code's
+Subversion hosting). The VCS checkout requires a few extra steps and some extra
+software packages on your system, but lets you track development, and make
+patches to contribute much more easily, so we highly encourage it.
+
+### VCS Checkout: ###
+The first step is to select whether you want to check out the main line of
+development on Google Mock, or one of the released branches. The former will be
+much more active and have the latest features, but the latter provides much
+more stability and predictability. Choose whichever fits your needs best, and
+proceed with the following Subversion commands:
+
+ svn checkout http://googlemock.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gmock-svn
+
+or for a release version X.Y.*'s branch:
+
+ svn checkout http://googlemock.googlecode.com/svn/branches/release-X.Y/ \
+ gmock-X.Y-svn
+
+Next you will need to prepare the GNU Autotools build system, if you
+are using Linux or Mac OS X. Enter the target directory of the
+checkout command you used ('gmock-svn' or 'gmock-X.Y-svn' above) and
+proceed with the following command:
+
+ autoreconf -fvi
+
+Once you have completed this step, you are ready to build the library. Note
+that you should only need to complete this step once. The subsequent `make'
+invocations will automatically re-generate the bits of the build system that
+need to be changed.
+
+If your system uses older versions of the autotools, the above command will
+fail. You may need to explicitly specify a version to use. For instance, if you
+have both GNU Automake 1.4 and 1.9 installed and `automake' would invoke the
+1.4, use instead:
+
+ AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 autoreconf -fvi
+
+Make sure you're using the same version of automake and aclocal.
+
+### Source Package: ###
+Google Mock is also released in source packages which can be downloaded from
+its Google Code download page[1]. Several different archive formats are
+provided, but the only difference is the tools needed to extract their
+contents, and the size of the resulting file. Download whichever you are most
+comfortable with.
+
+ [1] Google Mock Downloads: http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/downloads/list
+
+Once downloaded expand the archive using whichever tools you prefer for that
+type. This will always result in a new directory with the name "gmock-X.Y.Z"
+which contains all of the source code. Here are some examples in Linux:
+
+ tar -xvzf gmock-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
+ tar -xvjf gmock-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2
+ unzip gmock-X.Y.Z.zip
+
+Building the Source
+-------------------
+### Linux and Mac OS X (without Xcode) ###
+There are two primary options for building the source at this point: build it
+inside the source code tree, or in a separate directory. We recommend building
+in a separate directory as that tends to produce both more consistent results
+and be easier to clean up should anything go wrong, but both patterns are
+supported. The only hard restriction is that while the build directory can be
+a subdirectory of the source directory, the opposite is not possible and will
+result in errors. Once you have selected where you wish to build Google Mock,
+create the directory if necessary, and enter it. The following steps apply for
+either approach by simply substituting the shell variable SRCDIR with "." for
+building inside the source directory, and the relative path to the source
+directory otherwise.
+
+ ${SRCDIR}/configure # Standard GNU configure script, --help for more info
+
+The default behavior of the configure script with respect to locating and using
+Google Test is to first search for a 'gtest-config' in the system path, and
+lacking this, build an internal copy of Google Test. You may optionally specify
+a custom Google Test you wish to build Google Mock against, provided it is
+a new enough version.
+
+ # Configure against an installation in '/opt' with '/opt/bin/gtest-config'.
+ ${SRCDIR}/configure --with-gtest=/opt
+
+This can also be used to specify a Google Test which hasn't yet been installed.
+However, it must have been configured and built as described in the Google Test
+README before you configure Google Mock. To enable this feature, simply pass
+the directory where you configured and built Google Test (which is not
+necessarily its source directory) to Google Mock's configure script.
+
+ # Configure against a build of Google Test in an arbitrary directory.
+ ${SRCDIR}/configure --with-gtest=../../my_gtest_build
+
+Finally, if you have a version of Google Test installed but for some reason
+wish to forcibly prevent it from being used, we provide a special option.
+Typically this is not needed as we fall back to the internal Google Test
+packaged with Google Mock if an installed version is either unavailable or too
+old to build Google Mock. When using the internally packaged Google Test, the
+user does *not* need to configure or build it, that is automatically handled by
+Google Mock's build system.
+
+ # Force the use of the internally packaged Google Test, despite
+ # 'gtest-config' being in your PATH.
+ ${SRCDIR}/configure --disable-external-gtest
+
+Once you have successfully configured Google Mock, the build steps are standard
+for GNU-style OSS packages.
+
+ make # Standard makefile following GNU conventions
+ make check # Builds and runs all tests - all should pass
+
+Other programs will only be able to use Google Mock's functionality if you
+install it in a location which they can access, in Linux this is typically
+under '/usr/local'. The following command will install all of the Google Mock
+libraries, public headers, and utilities necessary for other programs and
+libraries to leverage it. Note that if Google Mock was unable to find an
+external Google Test to build against, it will also install the internally
+packaged Google Test in order to allow the installed Google Mock to function
+properly. This Google Test install will be fully functional, and if installed
+will also be uninstalled by uninstalling Google Mock.
+
+ sudo make install # Not necessary, but allows use by other programs
+
+Should you need to remove Google Mock from your system after having installed
+it, run the following command, and it will back out its changes. However, note
+carefully that you must run this command on the *same* Google Mock build that
+you ran the install from, or the results are not predictable. If you install
+Google Mock on your system, and are working from a VCS checkout, make sure you
+run this *before* updating your checkout of the source in order to uninstall
+the same version which you installed.
+
+ sudo make uninstall # Must be run against the exact same build as "install"
+
+Your project can build against Google Mock and Google Test simply by leveraging
+the 'gmock-config' script. This script can be invoked directly out of the
+'scripts' subdirectory of the build tree, and it will be installed in the
+binary directory specified during the 'configure'. Here are some examples of
+its use, see 'gmock-config --help' for more detailed information.
+
+ gmock-config --min-version=1.0 || echo "Insufficient Google Mock version."
+
+ g++ $(gmock-config --cppflags --cxxflags) -o foo.o -c foo.cpp
+ g++ $(gmock-config --ldflags --libs) -o foo foo.o
+
+ # When using a built but not installed Google Mock:
+ g++ $(../../my_gmock_build/scripts/gmock-config ...) ...
+
+Note that when building your project against Google Mock, you are building
+against Google Test as well. There is no need to configure Google Test
+separately.
+
+### Windows ###
+The msvc/ directory contains VC++ 2005 projects for building Google
+Mock and selected tests. In order to build Google Mock you must have
+an implementation of TR1 tuple. One library that provides such
+implementation is Boost. If you choose to use Boost, download it from
+www.boost.org and install it on your system. Note that Boost TR1 tuple
+is a header-only library, so the installation only involves unpacking
+it to a suitable location - you don't need to compile it or download a
+pre-compiled Boost binary.
+
+Since Boost is quite large, you may prefer to only install the files
+actually needed by Google Mock. If so, you can download TR1 tuple
+without other parts of Boost from
+http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/downloads/list.
+
+After that you have two options: either set up Boost globally or
+modify the Google Mock project to point to your copy of Boost. The
+former will let all your tests use the same Boost library while the
+latter will allow each of your projects use its own copy. You can also
+use a hybrid solution: your project settings will override the
+system-wide one.
+
+For example, if you unpacked boost v1.36.0 into C:\boost:
+To set up Boost such that all projects can use it:
+ * Assuming you are using the Visual Studio 2005 IDE, select Tools |
+ Options | Projects And Solutions | VC++ Directories.
+ * In the "Show directories for" drop-down select Include Files. Add
+ C:\boost\boost_1_36_0\boost\tr1\tr1 and C:\boost\boost_1_36_0 to the
+ list of directories.
+
+To configure your project to point to that version of Boost, replace
+the value of the BoostDir user macro with C:\boost\boost_1_36_0 in the
+msvc/gmock_config.vsprops file. You can use any text editor to edit
+that file.
+
+If you want to use a version of Google Test other then the one bundled with
+Google Mock, change the value of the GTestDir macro in gmock_config.vsprop
+to point to the new location.
+
+After configuring Boost, just open msvc/gmock.sln and build the library and
+tests. If you want to create your own project to use with Google Mock, you'll
+have to configure it to use the gmock_config propety sheet. For that:
+ * Open the Property Manager window (View | Other Windows | Property Manager)
+ * Right-click on your project and select "Add Existing Property Sheet..."
+ * Navigate to gmock_config.vsprops and select it.
+ * In Project Properties | Configuration Properties | General | Additional
+ Include Directories, type <path to Google Mock>/include.
+
+TODO(wan@google.com): update the .vsprops and .vcproj files such that the
+last step is unnecessary.
+
+### Using GNU Make ###
+The make/ directory contains a Makefile that you can use to build
+Google Mock on systems where GNU make is available (e.g. Linux and Mac
+OS X). It doesn't try to build Google Mock's own tests. Instead, it
+just builds the Google Mock libraries and some sample tests. You can
+use it as a starting point for your own Makefile.
+
+If the default settings are correct for your environment, the
+following commands should succeed:
+
+ cd ${SRCDIR}/make
+ make
+ ./gmock_test
+
+If you see errors, try to tweak the contents of make/Makefile to make
+them go away. There are instructions in make/Makefile on how to do
+it.
+
+### Using Your Own Build System ###
+If none of the build solutions we provide works for you, or if you
+prefer your own build system, you just need to compile
+${GTEST_SRCDIR}/src/gtest-all.cc (where GTEST_SRCDIR is the root of
+the Google Test source tree) and src/gmock-all.cc into a library and
+link your tests with it. Assuming a Linux-like system and gcc,
+something like the following will do:
+
+ cd ${SRCDIR}
+ g++ -I. -I./include -I${GTEST_SRCDIR} -I${GTEST_SRCDIR}/include \
+ -c {GTEST_SRCDIR}/src/gtest-all.cc
+ g++ -I. -I./include -I${GTEST_SRCDIR} -I${GTEST_SRCDIR}/include \
+ -c src/gmock-all.cc
+ ar -rv libgmock.a gtest-all.o gmock-all.o
+ g++ -I. -I./include -I${GTEST_SRCDIR} -I${GTEST_SRCDIR}/include \
+ path/to/your_test.cc libgmock.a -o your_test
+
+On Windows, you'll also need to add the include path for the boost
+headers to the compiler command line. See
+http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/boost_tr1/usage.html for
+how to do it.
+
+Regenerating Source Files
+-------------------------
+Some of Google Mock's source files are generated from templates (not
+in the C++ sense) using a script. A template file is named FOO.pump,
+where FOO is the name of the file it will generate. For example, the
+file include/gmock/gmock-generated-actions.h.pump is used to generate
+gmock-generated-actions.h in the same directory.
+
+Normally you don't need to worry about regenerating the source files,
+unless you need to modify them (e.g. if you are working on a patch for
+Google Mock). In that case, you should modify the corresponding .pump
+files instead and run the 'pump' script (for Pump is Useful for Meta
+Programming) to regenerate them. We are still working on releasing
+the script and its documentation. If you need it now, please email
+googlemock@googlegroups.com such that we know to make it happen
+sooner.
+
+Happy testing!
