Derek Mauro 25dcdc7e8b Use the Abseil flags library when Abseil is present
When built with `--define=absl=1` under Bazel, GoogleTest
flags use ABSL_FLAG instead of GoogleTest's own implementation.

There are some minor behavior differences in this mode.

The most notable difference is that unrecognized flags result
in a flag parsing error, and are not returned to the user though
a modified argc/argv, unless they appear after the positional
argument delimiter ("--").

For example, to pass a non-Abseil flag, you would have to do
./mytest --gtest_color=false -- --myflag=myvalue

The documentation at https://abseil.io/docs/cpp/guides/flags
may be helpful in understanding the behavior.

There are some other minor differences. For example,
passing --help results in the program returning 1 instead of 0.

Googletest Mocking (gMock) Framework

Overview

Google's framework for writing and using C++ mock classes. It can help you derive better designs of your system and write better tests.

It is inspired by:

It is designed with C++'s specifics in mind.

gMock:

  • Provides a declarative syntax for defining mocks.
  • Can 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.
  • Is easy to learn and use.

GoogleMock is a part of GoogleTest C++ testing framework and a subject to the same requirements.
