|   | Google C++ Testing Framework | ||
|  | ============================ | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | http://code.google.com/p/googletest/ | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Overview | ||
|  | -------- | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Google's framework for writing C++ tests on a variety of platforms | ||
|  | (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Windows CE, Symbian, etc).  Based on the | ||
|  | xUnit architecture.  Supports automatic test discovery, a rich set of | ||
|  | assertions, user-defined assertions, death tests, fatal and non-fatal | ||
|  | failures, various options for running the tests, and XML test report | ||
|  | generation. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Please see the project page above for more information as well as the | ||
|  | mailing list for questions, discussions, and development.  There is | ||
|  | also an IRC channel on OFTC (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available.  Please | ||
|  | join us! | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Requirements for End Users | ||
|  | -------------------------- | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | 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++98-standard-compliant compiler | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Windows Requirements ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   * Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 or newer | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Cygwin Requirements ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   * Cygwin 1.5.25-14 or newer | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Mac OS X Requirements ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   * Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer | ||
|  |   * Developer Tools Installed | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Also, you'll need CMake 2.6.4 or higher if you want to build the | ||
|  | samples using the provided CMake script, regardless of the platform. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Requirements for Contributors | ||
|  | ----------------------------- | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | We welcome patches.  If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to | ||
|  | build Google Test and its own tests from an SVN checkout (described | ||
|  | below), which has further requirements: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   * Python version 2.3 or newer (for running some of the tests and | ||
|  |     re-generating certain source files from templates) | ||
|  |   * CMake 2.6.4 or newer | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Getting the Source | ||
|  | ------------------ | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | There are two primary ways of getting Google Test's source code: you | ||
|  | can download a stable source release in your preferred archive format, | ||
|  | or directly check out the source from our Subversion (SVN) repositary. | ||
|  | The SVN checkout requires a few extra steps and some extra software | ||
|  | packages on your system, but lets you track the latest development and | ||
|  | make patches much more easily, so we highly encourage it. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Source Package ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Google Test is released in versioned source packages which can be | ||
|  | downloaded from the download page [1].  Several different archive | ||
|  | formats are provided, but the only difference is the tools used to | ||
|  | manipulate them, and the size of the resulting file.  Download | ||
|  | whichever you are most comfortable with. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   [1] http://code.google.com/p/googletest/downloads/list | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Once the package is downloaded, expand it using whichever tools you | ||
|  | prefer for that type.  This will result in a new directory with the | ||
|  | name "gtest-X.Y.Z" which contains all of the source code.  Here are | ||
|  | some examples on Linux: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   tar -xvzf gtest-X.Y.Z.tar.gz | ||
|  |   tar -xvjf gtest-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2 | ||
|  |   unzip gtest-X.Y.Z.zip | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### SVN Checkout ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | To check out the main branch (also known as the "trunk") of Google | ||
|  | Test, run the following Subversion command: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   svn checkout http://googletest.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gtest-svn | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Setting up the Build | ||
|  | -------------------- | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | To build Google Test and your tests that use it, you need to tell your | ||
|  | build system where to find its headers and source files.  The exact | ||
|  | way to do it depends on which build system you use, and is usually | ||
|  | straightforward. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Generic Build Instructions ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Suppose you put Google Test in directory ${GTEST_DIR}.  To build it, | ||
|  | create a library build target (or a project as called by Visual Studio | ||
|  | and Xcode) to compile | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | with | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   ${GTEST_DIR}/include and ${GTEST_DIR} | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | in the header search path.  Assuming a Linux-like system and gcc, | ||
|  | something like the following will do: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   g++ -I${GTEST_DIR}/include -I${GTEST_DIR} -c ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc | ||
|  |   ar -rv libgtest.a gtest-all.o | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Next, you should compile your test source file with | ||
|  | ${GTEST_DIR}/include in the header search path, and link it with gtest | ||
|  | and any other necessary libraries: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   g++ -I${GTEST_DIR}/include path/to/your_test.cc libgtest.a -o your_test | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | As an example, the make/ directory contains a Makefile that you can | ||
|  | use to build Google Test on systems where GNU make is available | ||
|  | (e.g. Linux, Mac OS X, and Cygwin).  It doesn't try to build Google | ||
|  | Test's own tests.  Instead, it just builds the Google Test library and | ||
|  | a sample test.  You can use it as a starting point for your own build | ||
|  | script. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | If the default settings are correct for your environment, the | ||
|  | following commands should succeed: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   cd ${GTEST_DIR}/make | ||
|  |   make | ||
|  |   ./sample1_unittest | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | If you see errors, try to tweak the contents of make/Makefile to make | ||
|  | them go away.  There are instructions in make/Makefile on how to do | ||
|  | it. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Using CMake ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Google Test comes with a CMake build script (CMakeLists.txt) that can | ||
|  | be used on a wide range of platforms ("C" stands for cross-platofrm.). | ||
|  | If you don't have CMake installed already, you can download it for | ||
|  | free from http://www.cmake.org/. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | CMake works by generating native makefiles or build projects that can | ||
|  | be used in the compiler environment of your choice.  The typical | ||
|  | workflow starts with: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   mkdir mybuild       # Create a directory to hold the build output. | ||
|  |   cd mybuild | ||
|  |   cmake ${GTEST_DIR}  # Generate native build scripts. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | If you want to build Google Test's samples, you should replace the | ||
|  | last command with | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   cmake -Dbuild_gtest_samples=ON ${GTEST_DIR} | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | If you are on a *nix system, you should now see a Makefile in the | ||
|  | current directory.  Just type 'make' to build gtest. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | If you use Windows and have Vistual Studio installed, a gtest.sln file | ||
|  | and several .vcproj files will be created.  You can then build them | ||
|  | using Visual Studio. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | On Mac OS X with Xcode installed, a .xcodeproj file will be generated. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Legacy Build Scripts ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Before settling on CMake, we have been providing hand-maintained build | ||
|  | projects/scripts for Visual Studio, Xcode, and Autotools.  While we | ||
|  | continue to provide them for convenience, they are not actively | ||
|  | maintained any more.  We highly recommend that you follow the | ||
|  | instructions in the previous two sections to integrate Google Test | ||
|  | with your existing build system. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | If you still need to use the legacy build scripts, here's how: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | The msvc\ folder contains two solutions with Visual C++ projects. | ||
|  | Open the gtest.sln or gtest-md.sln file using Visual Studio, and you | ||
|  | are ready to build Google Test the same way you build any Visual | ||
|  | Studio project.  Files that have names ending with -md use DLL | ||
|  | versions of Microsoft runtime libraries (the /MD or the /MDd compiler | ||
|  | option).  Files without that suffix use static versions of the runtime | ||
|  | libraries (the /MT or the /MTd option).  Please note that one must use | ||
|  | the same option to compile both gtest and the test code.  If you use | ||
|  | Visual Studio 2005 or above, we recommend the -md version as /MD is | ||
|  | the default for new projects in these versions of Visual Studio. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | On Mac OS X, open the gtest.xcodeproj in the xcode/ folder using | ||
|  | Xcode.  Build the "gtest" target.  The universal binary framework will | ||
|  | end up in your selected build directory (selected in the Xcode | ||
|  | "Preferences..." -> "Building" pane and defaults to xcode/build). | ||
|  | Alternatively, at the command line, enter: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   xcodebuild | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | This will build the "Release" configuration of gtest.framework in your | ||
|  | default build location.  See the "xcodebuild" man page for more | ||
|  | information about building different configurations and building in | ||
|  | different locations. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Tweaking Google Test | ||
|  | -------------------- | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Google Test can be used in diverse environments.  The default | ||
|  | configuration may not work (or may not work well) out of the box in | ||
|  | some environments.  However, you can easily tweak Google Test by | ||
|  | defining control macros on the compiler command line.  Generally, | ||
|  | these macros are named like GTEST_XYZ and you define them to either 1 | ||
|  | or 0 to enable or disable a certain feature. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | We list the most frequently used macros below.  For a complete list, | ||
|  | see file include/gtest/internal/gtest-port.h. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Choosing a TR1 Tuple Library ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Some Google Test features require the C++ Technical Report 1 (TR1) | ||
|  | tuple library, which is not yet available with all compilers.  The | ||
|  | good news is that Google Test implements a subset of TR1 tuple that's | ||
|  | enough for its own need, and will automatically use this when the | ||
|  | compiler doesn't provide TR1 tuple. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Usually you don't need to care about which tuple library Google Test | ||
|  | uses.  However, if your project already uses TR1 tuple, you need to | ||
|  | tell Google Test to use the same TR1 tuple library the rest of your | ||
|  | project uses, or the two tuple implementations will clash.  To do | ||
|  | that, add | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   -DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=0 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | to the compiler flags while compiling Google Test and your tests.  If | ||
|  | you want to force Google Test to use its own tuple library, just add | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   -DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=1 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | to the compiler flags instead. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | If you don't want Google Test to use tuple at all, add | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   -DGTEST_HAS_TR1_TUPLE=0 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | and all features using tuple will be disabled. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Multi-threaded Tests ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Google Test is thread-safe where the pthread library is available. | ||
|  | After #include <gtest/gtest.h>, you can check the GTEST_IS_THREADSAFE | ||
|  | macro to see whether this is the case (yes if the macro is #defined to | ||
|  | 1, no if it's undefined.). | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | If Google Test doesn't correctly detect whether pthread is available | ||
|  | in your environment, you can force it with | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   -DGTEST_HAS_PTHREAD=1 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | or | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   -DGTEST_HAS_PTHREAD=0 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | When Google Test uses pthread, you may need to add flags to your | ||
|  | compiler and/or linker to select the pthread library, or you'll get | ||
|  | link errors.  If you use the CMake script or the deprecated Autotools | ||
|  | script, this is taken care of for you.  If you use your own build | ||
|  | script, you'll need to read your compiler and linker's manual to | ||
|  | figure out what flags to add. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### As a Shared Library (DLL) ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Google Test is compact, so most users can build and link it as a | ||
|  | static library for the simplicity.  You can choose to use Google Test | ||
|  | as a shared library (known as a DLL on Windows) if you prefer. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | To compile gtest as a shared library, add | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   -DGTEST_CREATE_SHARED_LIBRARY=1 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | to the compiler flags.  You'll also need to tell the linker to produce | ||
|  | a shared library instead - consult your linker's manual for how to do | ||
|  | it. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | To compile your tests that use the gtest shared library, add | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   -DGTEST_LINKED_AS_SHARED_LIBRARY=1 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | to the compiler flags. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Avoiding Macro Name Clashes ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | In C++, macros don't obey namespaces.  Therefore two libraries that | ||
|  | both define a macro of the same name will clash if you #include both | ||
|  | definitions.  In case a Google Test macro clashes with another | ||
|  | library, you can force Google Test to rename its macro to avoid the | ||
|  | conflict. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Specifically, if both Google Test and some other code define macro | ||
|  | FOO, you can add | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   -DGTEST_DONT_DEFINE_FOO=1 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | to the compiler flags to tell Google Test to change the macro's name | ||
|  | from FOO to GTEST_FOO.  Currently FOO can be FAIL, SUCCEED, or TEST. | ||
|  | For example, with -DGTEST_DONT_DEFINE_TEST=1, you'll need to write | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   GTEST_TEST(SomeTest, DoesThis) { ... } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | instead of | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   TEST(SomeTest, DoesThis) { ... } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | in order to define a test. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Upgrating from an Earlier Version | ||
|  | --------------------------------- | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | We strive to keep Google Test releases backward compatible. | ||
|  | Sometimes, though, we have to make some breaking changes for the | ||
|  | users' long-term benefits.  This section describes what you'll need to | ||
|  | do if you are upgrading from an earlier version of Google Test. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Upgrading from 1.3.0 or Earlier ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | You may need to explicitly enable or disable Google Test's own TR1 | ||
|  | tuple library.  See the instructions in section "Choosing a TR1 Tuple | ||
|  | Library". | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Upgrading from 1.4.0 or Earlier ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | The Autotools build script (configure + make) is no longer officially | ||
|  | supportted.  You are encouraged to migrate to your own build system or | ||
|  | use CMake.  If you still need to use Autotools, you can find | ||
|  | instructions in the README file from Google Test 1.4.0. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | On platforms where the pthread library is available, Google Test uses | ||
|  | it in order to be thread-safe.  See the "Multi-threaded Tests" section | ||
|  | for what this means to your build script. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | If you use Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 with exceptions disabled, Google | ||
|  | Test will no longer compile.  This should affect very few people, as a | ||
|  | large portion of STL (including <string>) doesn't compile in this mode | ||
|  | anyway.  We decided to stop supporting it in order to greatly simplify | ||
|  | Google Test's implementation. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Developing Google Test | ||
|  | ---------------------- | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | This section discusses how to make your own changes to Google Test. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Testing Google Test Itself ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | To make sure your changes work as intended and don't break existing | ||
|  | functionality, you'll want to compile and run Google Test's own tests. | ||
|  | For that you can use CMake: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   mkdir mybuild | ||
|  |   cd mybuild | ||
|  |   cmake -Dbuild_all_gtest_tests=ON ${GTEST_DIR} | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Make sure you have Python installed, as some of Google Test's tests | ||
|  | are written in Python.  If the cmake command complains about not being | ||
|  | able to find Python ("Could NOT find PythonInterp (missing: | ||
|  | PYTHON_EXECUTABLE)"), try telling it explicitly where your Python | ||
|  | executable can be found: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=path/to/python -Dbuild_all_gtest_tests=ON \ | ||
|  |       ${GTEST_DIR} | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Next, you can build Google Test and all of its own tests.  On *nix, | ||
|  | this is usually done by 'make'.  To run the tests, do | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   make test | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | All tests should pass. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Regenerating Source Files ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Some of Google Test's source files are generated from templates (not | ||
|  | in the C++ sense) using a script.  A template file is named FOO.pump, | ||
|  | where FOO is the name of the file it will generate.  For example, the | ||
|  | file include/gtest/internal/gtest-type-util.h.pump is used to generate | ||
|  | gtest-type-util.h in the same directory. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Normally you don't need to worry about regenerating the source files, | ||
|  | unless you need to modify them.  In that case, you should modify the | ||
|  | corresponding .pump files instead and run the pump.py Python script to | ||
|  | regenerate them.  You can find pump.py in the scripts/ directory. | ||
|  | Read the Pump manual [2] for how to use it. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   [2] http://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/PumpManual | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Contributing a Patch ### | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | We welcome patches.  Please read the Google Test developer's guide [3] | ||
|  | for how you can contribute.  In particular, make sure you have signed | ||
|  | the Contributor License Agreement, or we won't be able to accept the | ||
|  | patch. | ||
