Aaron Jacobs cbca6bc395 gmock-actions: provide a const reference when converting in ReturnAction.
It doesn't make semantic sense for the conversion to modify the input, and the
fact that it's allowed to do so appears to have just been a historical accident.

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.
