Aaron Jacobs 5176726123 gmock-actions: support ByMove in a specialization of ReturnAction.
Rather than branching on whether the return type is ByMoveWrapper within
ReturnAction itself, hoist the distinction to outside. This allows the main
class template to be modified without worrying about this special case, which
means we can stop using a shared pointer to the value (introduced as a
linked_ptr in commit 3d1c78b2bf to support ByMove) in this commit and simplify
the class template further in a future commit with the eventual aim of directly
supporting move-only result types.

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.
