Mark ACTION_Pn()-generated functions as must-use-result.
This catches when a client creates an action and discards it, thinking that the action has actually been applied to something.
This will help people who make the mistake of defining, for example, both `void Use(Foo*)` and `ACTION(Use) { Use(arg); }` for later application to a Foo. With such an overload, a client may then write `Use();`, forgetting the param and being confused why nothing happens.
This also catches when a client defines their own action in terms of an ACTION()-generated one, invokes the ACTION's builder, and then fails to invoke the resulting action, thinking it's operating on the outer action's parameters.

Welcome to Google Test, Google's C++ test framework!
This repository is a merger of the formerly separate GoogleTest and GoogleMock projects. These were so closely related that it makes sense to maintain and release them together.
Please subscribe to the mailing list at googletestframework@googlegroups.com for questions, discussions, and development.
Getting started:
The information for Google Test is available in the Google Test Primer documentation.
Google Mock is an extension to Google Test for writing and using C++ mock classes. See the separate Google Mock documentation.
More detailed documentation for googletest is in its interior googletest/README.md file.
Features
- An xUnit test framework.
- Test discovery.
- A rich set of assertions.
- User-defined assertions.
- Death tests.
- Fatal and non-fatal failures.
- Value-parameterized tests.
- Type-parameterized tests.
- Various options for running the tests.
- XML test report generation.
Platforms
Google test has been used on a variety of platforms:
- Linux
- Mac OS X
- Windows
- Cygwin
- MinGW
- Windows Mobile
- Symbian
- PlatformIO
Who Is Using Google Test?
In addition to many internal projects at Google, Google Test is also used by the following notable projects:
- The Chromium projects (behind the Chrome browser and Chrome OS).
- The LLVM compiler.
- Protocol Buffers, Google's data interchange format.
- The OpenCV computer vision library.
- tiny-dnn: header only, dependency-free deep learning framework in C++11.

Requirements
Google Test is designed to have fairly minimal requirements to build and use with your projects, but there are some. If you notice any problems on your platform, please notify googletestframework@googlegroups.com. Patches for fixing them are welcome!
Build Requirements
These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a source package:
-
Bazel or CMake. NOTE: Bazel is the build system that googletest is using internally and tests against. CMake is community-supported.
-
a C++11-standard-compliant compiler
