Add `-frtti` to the compiler with the base flags case so that RTTI is enabled by default with clang. Add its inverse analog, `cxx_no_rtti_flags` in order to test the case with RTTI off, similar to gcc. This reduces the amount of testing/support overhead needed in the non-RTTI case with clang, as the tests currently fail when these two features are off with version 1.8.1. This something I used in when investigating test failures on FreeBSD, as the tests that rely on RTTI were failing with googletest 1.8.1 on the OS platform. More investigation is being done to determine how this should be fixed on FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE with ports, as the package doesn't currently compile the tests, and when enabled (based on my WIP diff), the tests fail in similar ways.

PR FREEZE COMING SOON
We are working on a large refactoring that would make it hard to accept external PRs. Really Soon Now we will not be accepting new PRs until the refactoring has been completed.
Future Plans:
- 1.8.x Release - the 1.8.x is the last release that works with pre-C++11 compilers. The 1.8.x will not accept any requests for any new features and any bugfix requests will only be accepted if proven "critical"
- Post 1.8.x - work to improve/cleanup/pay technical debt. When this work is completed there will be a 1.9.x tagged release
- Post 1.9.x googletest will follow Abseil Live at Head philosophy
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.
There is also an IRC channel on OFTC (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available.
Getting started 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 (including build instructions) are 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.
Related Open Source Projects
GTest Runner is a Qt5 based automated test-runner and Graphical User Interface with powerful features for Windows and Linux platforms.
Google Test UI is test runner that runs your test binary, allows you to track its progress via a progress bar, and displays a list of test failures. Clicking on one shows failure text. Google Test UI is written in C#.
GTest TAP Listener is an event listener for Google Test that implements the TAP protocol for test result output. If your test runner understands TAP, you may find it useful.
gtest-parallel is a test runner that runs tests from your binary in parallel to provide significant speed-up.
GoogleTest Adapter is a VS Code extension allowing to view Google Tests in a tree view, and run/debug your tests.
Requirements
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++11-standard-compliant compiler
Windows Requirements
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 or newer
Cygwin Requirements
- Cygwin v1.5.25-14 or newer
Mac OS X Requirements
- Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger or newer
- Xcode Developer Tools
