Google C++ Testing Framework
 | 
						|
============================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
http://code.google.com/p/googletest/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Overview
 | 
						|
--------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Google's framework for writing C++ tests on a variety of platforms
 | 
						|
(Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Windows CE, Symbian, etc).  Based on the
 | 
						|
xUnit architecture.  Supports automatic test discovery, a rich set of
 | 
						|
assertions, user-defined assertions, death tests, fatal and non-fatal
 | 
						|
failures, various options for running the tests, and XML test report
 | 
						|
generation.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Requirements for End Users
 | 
						|
--------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Google Test is designed to have fairly minimal requirements to build
 | 
						|
and use with your projects, but there are some.  Currently, we support
 | 
						|
Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Cygwin.  We will also make our best
 | 
						|
effort to support other platforms (e.g. Solaris, AIX, and z/OS).
 | 
						|
However, since core members of the Google Test project have no access
 | 
						|
to these platforms, Google Test may have outstanding issues there.  If
 | 
						|
you notice any problems on your platform, please notify
 | 
						|
googletestframework@googlegroups.com.  Patches for fixing them are
 | 
						|
even more welcome!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Linux Requirements ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a source
 | 
						|
package (as described below):
 | 
						|
  * GNU-compatible Make or gmake
 | 
						|
  * POSIX-standard shell
 | 
						|
  * POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h)
 | 
						|
  * A C++98-standard-compliant compiler
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Windows Requirements ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  * Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 or newer
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Cygwin Requirements ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  * Cygwin 1.5.25-14 or newer
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Mac OS X Requirements ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  * Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer
 | 
						|
  * Developer Tools Installed
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Also, you'll need CMake 2.6.4 or higher if you want to build the
 | 
						|
samples using the provided CMake script, regardless of the platform.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Requirements for Contributors
 | 
						|
-----------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We welcome patches.  If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to
 | 
						|
build Google Test and its own tests from an SVN checkout (described
 | 
						|
below), which has further requirements:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  * Python version 2.3 or newer (for running some of the tests and
 | 
						|
    re-generating certain source files from templates)
 | 
						|
  * CMake 2.6.4 or newer
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Getting the Source
 | 
						|
------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are two primary ways of getting Google Test's source code: you
 | 
						|
can download a stable source release in your preferred archive format,
 | 
						|
or directly check out the source from our Subversion (SVN) repositary.
 | 
						|
The SVN checkout requires a few extra steps and some extra software
 | 
						|
packages on your system, but lets you track the latest development and
 | 
						|
make patches much more easily, so we highly encourage it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Source Package ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Google Test is released in versioned source packages which can be
 | 
						|
downloaded from the download page [1].  Several different archive
 | 
						|
formats are provided, but the only difference is the tools used to
 | 
						|
manipulate them, and the size of the resulting file.  Download
 | 
						|
whichever you are most comfortable with.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  [1] http://code.google.com/p/googletest/downloads/list
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Once the package is downloaded, expand it using whichever tools you
 | 
						|
prefer for that type.  This will result in a new directory with the
 | 
						|
name "gtest-X.Y.Z" which contains all of the source code.  Here are
 | 
						|
some examples on Linux:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  tar -xvzf gtest-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
 | 
						|
  tar -xvjf gtest-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2
 | 
						|
  unzip gtest-X.Y.Z.zip
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### SVN Checkout ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To check out the main branch (also known as the "trunk") of Google
 | 
						|
Test, run the following Subversion command:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  svn checkout http://googletest.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gtest-svn
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Setting up the Build
 | 
						|
--------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To build Google Test and your tests that use it, you need to tell your
 | 
						|
build system where to find its headers and source files.  The exact
 | 
						|
way to do it depends on which build system you use, and is usually
 | 
						|
straightforward.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Generic Build Instructions ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Suppose you put Google Test in directory ${GTEST_DIR}.  To build it,
 | 
						|
create a library build target (or a project as called by Visual Studio
 | 
						|
and Xcode) to compile
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
with
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  ${GTEST_DIR}/include and ${GTEST_DIR}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
in the header search path.  Assuming a Linux-like system and gcc,
 | 
						|
something like the following will do:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  g++ -I${GTEST_DIR}/include -I${GTEST_DIR} -c ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc
 | 
						|
  ar -rv libgtest.a gtest-all.o
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Next, you should compile your test source file with
 | 
						|
${GTEST_DIR}/include in the header search path, and link it with gtest
 | 
						|
and any other necessary libraries:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  g++ -I${GTEST_DIR}/include path/to/your_test.cc libgtest.a -o your_test
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
As an example, the make/ directory contains a Makefile that you can
 | 
						|
use to build Google Test on systems where GNU make is available
 | 
						|
(e.g. Linux, Mac OS X, and Cygwin).  It doesn't try to build Google
 | 
						|
Test's own tests.  Instead, it just builds the Google Test library and
 | 
						|
a sample test.  You can use it as a starting point for your own build
 | 
						|
script.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If the default settings are correct for your environment, the
 | 
						|
following commands should succeed:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  cd ${GTEST_DIR}/make
 | 
						|
  make
 | 
						|
  ./sample1_unittest
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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 CMake ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Google Test comes with a CMake build script (CMakeLists.txt) that can
 | 
						|
be used on a wide range of platforms ("C" stands for cross-platofrm.).
 | 
						|
If you don't have CMake installed already, you can download it for
 | 
						|
free from http://www.cmake.org/.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
CMake works by generating native makefiles or build projects that can
 | 
						|
be used in the compiler environment of your choice.  The typical
 | 
						|
workflow starts with:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  mkdir mybuild       # Create a directory to hold the build output.
 | 
						|
  cd mybuild
 | 
						|
  cmake ${GTEST_DIR}  # Generate native build scripts.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you want to build Google Test's samples, you should replace the
 | 
						|
last command with
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  cmake -Dgtest_build_samples=ON ${GTEST_DIR}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you are on a *nix system, you should now see a Makefile in the
 | 
						|
current directory.  Just type 'make' to build gtest.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you use Windows and have Vistual Studio installed, a gtest.sln file
 | 
						|
and several .vcproj files will be created.  You can then build them
 | 
						|
using Visual Studio.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On Mac OS X with Xcode installed, a .xcodeproj file will be generated.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Legacy Build Scripts ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Before settling on CMake, we have been providing hand-maintained build
 | 
						|
projects/scripts for Visual Studio, Xcode, and Autotools.  While we
 | 
						|
continue to provide them for convenience, they are not actively
 | 
						|
maintained any more.  We highly recommend that you follow the
 | 
						|
instructions in the previous two sections to integrate Google Test
 | 
						|
with your existing build system.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you still need to use the legacy build scripts, here's how:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The msvc\ folder contains two solutions with Visual C++ projects.
 | 
						|
Open the gtest.sln or gtest-md.sln file using Visual Studio, and you
 | 
						|
are ready to build Google Test the same way you build any Visual
 | 
						|
Studio project.  Files that have names ending with -md use DLL
 | 
						|
versions of Microsoft runtime libraries (the /MD or the /MDd compiler
 | 
						|
option).  Files without that suffix use static versions of the runtime
 | 
						|
libraries (the /MT or the /MTd option).  Please note that one must use
 | 
						|
the same option to compile both gtest and the test code.  If you use
 | 
						|
Visual Studio 2005 or above, we recommend the -md version as /MD is
 | 
						|
the default for new projects in these versions of Visual Studio.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On Mac OS X, open the gtest.xcodeproj in the xcode/ folder using
 | 
						|
Xcode.  Build the "gtest" target.  The universal binary framework will
 | 
						|
end up in your selected build directory (selected in the Xcode
 | 
						|
"Preferences..." -> "Building" pane and defaults to xcode/build).
 | 
						|
Alternatively, at the command line, enter:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  xcodebuild
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This will build the "Release" configuration of gtest.framework in your
 | 
						|
default build location.  See the "xcodebuild" man page for more
 | 
						|
information about building different configurations and building in
 | 
						|
different locations.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Tweaking Google Test
 | 
						|
--------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Google Test 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 Test 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 include/gtest/internal/gtest-port.h.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Choosing a TR1 Tuple Library ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Some Google Test features require the C++ Technical Report 1 (TR1)
 | 
						|
tuple library, which is not yet available with all compilers.  The
 | 
						|
good news is that Google Test implements a subset of TR1 tuple that's
 | 
						|
enough for its own need, and will automatically use this when the
 | 
						|
compiler doesn't provide TR1 tuple.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Usually you don't need to care about which tuple library Google Test
 | 
						|
uses.  However, if your project already uses TR1 tuple, you need to
 | 
						|
tell Google Test to use the same TR1 tuple library the rest of your
 | 
						|
project uses, or the two tuple implementations will clash.  To do
 | 
						|
that, add
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  -DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
to the compiler flags while compiling Google Test and your tests.  If
 | 
						|
you want to force Google Test to use its own tuple library, just add
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  -DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
to the compiler flags instead.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you don't want Google Test to use tuple at all, add
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  -DGTEST_HAS_TR1_TUPLE=0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
and all features using tuple will be disabled.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Multi-threaded Tests ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Google Test is thread-safe where the pthread library is available.
 | 
						|
After #include "gtest/gtest.h", you can check the GTEST_IS_THREADSAFE
 | 
						|
macro to see whether this is the case (yes if the macro is #defined to
 | 
						|
1, no if it's undefined.).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If Google Test doesn't correctly detect whether pthread is available
 | 
						|
in your environment, you can force it with
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  -DGTEST_HAS_PTHREAD=1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
or
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  -DGTEST_HAS_PTHREAD=0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When Google Test uses pthread, you may need to add flags to your
 | 
						|
compiler and/or linker to select the pthread library, or you'll get
 | 
						|
link errors.  If you use the CMake script or the deprecated Autotools
 | 
						|
script, this is taken care of for you.  If you use your own build
 | 
						|
script, you'll need to read your compiler and linker's manual to
 | 
						|
figure out what flags to add.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### As a Shared Library (DLL) ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Google Test is compact, so most users can build and link it as a
 | 
						|
static library for the simplicity.  You can choose to use Google Test
 | 
						|
as a shared library (known as a DLL on Windows) if you prefer.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To compile *gtest* as a shared library, add
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  -DGTEST_CREATE_SHARED_LIBRARY=1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
to the compiler flags.  You'll also need to tell the linker to produce
 | 
						|
a shared library instead - consult your linker's manual for how to do
 | 
						|
it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To compile your *tests* that use the gtest shared library, add
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  -DGTEST_LINKED_AS_SHARED_LIBRARY=1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
to the compiler flags.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note: while the above steps aren't technically necessary today when
 | 
						|
using some compilers (e.g. GCC), they may become necessary in the
 | 
						|
future, if we decide to improve the speed of loading the library (see
 | 
						|
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility for details).  Therefore you are
 | 
						|
recommended to always add the above flags when using Google Test as a
 | 
						|
shared library.  Otherwise a future release of Google Test may break
 | 
						|
your build script.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Avoiding Macro Name Clashes ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In C++, macros don't obey namespaces.  Therefore two libraries that
 | 
						|
both define a macro of the same name will clash if you #include both
 | 
						|
definitions.  In case a Google Test macro clashes with another
 | 
						|
library, you can force Google Test to rename its macro to avoid the
 | 
						|
conflict.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Specifically, if both Google Test and some other code define macro
 | 
						|
FOO, you can add
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  -DGTEST_DONT_DEFINE_FOO=1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
to the compiler flags to tell Google Test to change the macro's name
 | 
						|
from FOO to GTEST_FOO.  Currently FOO can be FAIL, SUCCEED, or TEST.
 | 
						|
For example, with -DGTEST_DONT_DEFINE_TEST=1, you'll need to write
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  GTEST_TEST(SomeTest, DoesThis) { ... }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
instead of
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  TEST(SomeTest, DoesThis) { ... }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
in order to define a test.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Upgrating from an Earlier Version
 | 
						|
---------------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We strive to keep Google Test 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 Test.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Upgrading from 1.3.0 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".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Upgrading from 1.4.0 or Earlier ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The Autotools build script (configure + make) is no longer officially
 | 
						|
supportted.  You are encouraged to migrate to your own build system or
 | 
						|
use CMake.  If you still need to use Autotools, you can find
 | 
						|
instructions in the README file from Google Test 1.4.0.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On platforms where the pthread library is available, Google Test uses
 | 
						|
it in order to be thread-safe.  See the "Multi-threaded Tests" section
 | 
						|
for what this means to your build script.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you use Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 with exceptions disabled, Google
 | 
						|
Test will no longer compile.  This should affect very few people, as a
 | 
						|
large portion of STL (including <string>) doesn't compile in this mode
 | 
						|
anyway.  We decided to stop supporting it in order to greatly simplify
 | 
						|
Google Test's implementation.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Developing Google Test
 | 
						|
----------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This section discusses how to make your own changes to Google Test.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Testing Google Test Itself ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To make sure your changes work as intended and don't break existing
 | 
						|
functionality, you'll want to compile and run Google Test's own tests.
 | 
						|
For that you can use CMake:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  mkdir mybuild
 | 
						|
  cd mybuild
 | 
						|
  cmake -Dgtest_build_tests=ON ${GTEST_DIR}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Make sure you have Python installed, as some of Google Test's tests
 | 
						|
are written in Python.  If the cmake command complains about not being
 | 
						|
able to find Python ("Could NOT find PythonInterp (missing:
 | 
						|
PYTHON_EXECUTABLE)"), try telling it explicitly where your Python
 | 
						|
executable can be found:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=path/to/python -Dgtest_build_tests=ON ${GTEST_DIR}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Next, you can build Google Test and all of its own tests.  On *nix,
 | 
						|
this is usually done by 'make'.  To run the tests, do
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  make test
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All tests should pass.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Regenerating Source Files ###
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Some of Google Test'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/gtest/internal/gtest-type-util.h.pump is used to generate
 | 
						|
gtest-type-util.h in the same directory.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Normally you don't need to worry about regenerating the source files,
 | 
						|
unless you need to modify them.  In that case, you should modify the
 | 
						|
corresponding .pump files instead and run the pump.py Python script to
 | 
						|
regenerate them.  You can find pump.py in the scripts/ directory.
 | 
						|
Read the Pump manual [2] for how to use it.
