+## Google Mock ##
+
+The Google C++ mocking 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:
+
+ * [jMock](http://www.jmock.org/),
+ * [EasyMock](http://www.easymock.org/), and
+ * [Hamcrest](http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/),
+
+and designed with C++'s specifics in mind.
+
+Google mock:
+
+ * lets you create mock classes trivially using simple macros.
+ * supports a rich set of matchers and actions.
+ * handles unordered, partially ordered, or completely ordered expectations.
+ * is extensible by users.
+
+We hope you find it useful!
+
+### Features ###
+
+ * Provides a declarative syntax for defining mocks.
+ * Can easily 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 an user extend it by defining new matchers and actions.
+ * Does not use exceptions.
+ * Is easy to learn and use.
+
+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!
+
+Please note that code under [scripts/generator](scripts/generator/) is
+from [cppclean](http://code.google.com/p/cppclean/) and released under
+the Apache License, which is different from Google Mock's license.
+
+## Getting Started ##
+
+If you are new to the project, we suggest that you read the user
+documentation in the following order:
+
+ * Learn the [basics](../../master/googletest/docs/primer.md) of
+ Google Test, if you choose to use Google Mock with it (recommended).
+ * Read [Google Mock for Dummies](../../master/googlemock/docs/ForDummies.md).
+ * Read the instructions below on how to build Google Mock.
+
+You can also watch Zhanyong's [talk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYpCyLI47rM) on Google Mock's usage and implementation.
+
+Once you understand the basics, check out the rest of the docs:

+
+
+### Using Google Mock Without Google Test ###
+
+Google Mock is not a testing framework itself. Instead, it needs a
+testing framework for writing tests. Google Mock works seamlessly
+with [Google Test](https://github.com/google/googletest), but
+you can also use it with [any C++ testing framework](../../master/googlemock/docs/ForDummies.md#using-google-mock-with-any-testing-framework).
+
+### Requirements for End Users ###
+
+Google Mock is implemented on top of [Google Test](
+http://github.com/google/googletest/), and depends on it.
+You must use the bundled version of Google Test when using Google Mock.
+
+You can also easily configure Google Mock to work with another testing
+framework, although it will still need Google Test. Please read
+["Using_Google_Mock_with_Any_Testing_Framework"](
+ ../../master/googlemock/docs/ForDummies.md#using-google-mock-with-any-testing-framework)
+for instructions.
+
+Google Mock depends on advanced C++ features and thus requires a more
+modern compiler. The following are needed to use Google Mock:
+
+#### Linux Requirements ####
+
+ * GNU-compatible Make or "gmake"
+ * POSIX-standard shell
+ * POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h)
+ * C++98-standard-compliant compiler (e.g. GCC 3.4 or newer)
+
+#### Windows Requirements ####
+
+ * Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 SP1 or newer
+
+#### Mac OS X Requirements ####
+
+ * Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer
+ * Developer Tools Installed
+
+### Requirements for Contributors ###
+
+We welcome patches. If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to
+build Google Mock and its tests, which has further requirements:
+
+ * Automake version 1.9 or newer
+ * Autoconf version 2.59 or newer
+ * Libtool / Libtoolize
+ * Python version 2.3 or newer (for running some of the tests and
+ re-generating certain source files from templates)
+
+### Building Google Mock ###
+
+#### Using CMake ####
+
+If you have CMake available, it is recommended that you follow the
+[build instructions][gtest_cmakebuild]
+as described for Google Test.
+
+If are using Google Mock with an
+existing CMake project, the section
+[Incorporating Into An Existing CMake Project][gtest_incorpcmake]
+may be of particular interest.
+To make it work for Google Mock you will need to change
+
+ target_link_libraries(example gtest_main)
+
+to
+
+ target_link_libraries(example gmock_main)
+
+This works because `gmock_main` library is compiled with Google Test.
+
+#### Preparing to Build (Unix only) ####
+
+If you are using a Unix system and plan to use the GNU Autotools build
+system to build Google Mock (described below), you'll need to
+configure it now.
+
+To prepare the Autotools build system:
+
+ cd googlemock
+ autoreconf -fvi
+
+To build Google Mock 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.
+
+This section shows how you can integrate Google Mock into your
+existing build system.
+
+Suppose you put Google Mock in directory `${GMOCK_DIR}` and Google Test
+in `${GTEST_DIR}` (the latter is `${GMOCK_DIR}/gtest` by default). To
+build Google Mock, create a library build target (or a project as
+called by Visual Studio and Xcode) to compile
+
+ ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc and ${GMOCK_DIR}/src/gmock-all.cc
+
+with
+
+ ${GTEST_DIR}/include and ${GMOCK_DIR}/include
+
+in the system header search path, and
+
+ ${GTEST_DIR} and ${GMOCK_DIR}
+
+in the normal header search path. Assuming a Linux-like system and gcc,
+something like the following will do:
+
+ g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -I${GTEST_DIR} \
+ -isystem ${GMOCK_DIR}/include -I${GMOCK_DIR} \
+ -pthread -c ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc
+ g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -I${GTEST_DIR} \
+ -isystem ${GMOCK_DIR}/include -I${GMOCK_DIR} \
+ -pthread -c ${GMOCK_DIR}/src/gmock-all.cc
+ ar -rv libgmock.a gtest-all.o gmock-all.o
+
+(We need -pthread as Google Test and Google Mock use threads.)
+
+Next, you should compile your test source file with
+${GTEST\_DIR}/include and ${GMOCK\_DIR}/include in the header search
+path, and link it with gmock and any other necessary libraries:
+
+ g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -isystem ${GMOCK_DIR}/include \
+ -pthread path/to/your_test.cc libgmock.a -o your_test
+
+As an example, the make/ directory contains a Makefile that you can
+use to build Google Mock on systems where GNU make is available
+(e.g. Linux, Mac OS X, and Cygwin). It doesn't try to build Google
+Mock's own tests. Instead, it just builds the Google Mock 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 ${GMOCK_DIR}/make
+ make
+ ./gmock_test
+
+If you see errors, try to tweak the contents of
+[make/Makefile](make/Makefile) to make them go away.
+
+### Windows ###
+
+The msvc/2005 directory contains VC++ 2005 projects and the msvc/2010
+directory contains VC++ 2010 projects for building Google Mock and
+selected tests.
+
+Change to the appropriate directory and run "msbuild gmock.sln" to
+build the library and tests (or open the gmock.sln in the MSVC IDE).
+If you want to create your own project to use with Google Mock, you'll
+have to configure it to use the `gmock_config` propety sheet. For that:
+
+ * Open the Property Manager window (View | Other Windows | Property Manager)
+ * Right-click on your project and select "Add Existing Property Sheet..."
+ * Navigate to `gmock_config.vsprops` or `gmock_config.props` and select it.
+ * In Project Properties | Configuration Properties | General | Additional
+ Include Directories, type <path to Google Mock>/include.
+
+### Tweaking Google Mock ###
+
+Google Mock can be used in diverse environments. The default
+configuration may not work (or may not work well) out of the box in
+some environments. However, you can easily tweak Google Mock by
+defining control macros on the compiler command line. Generally,
+these macros are named like `GTEST_XYZ` and you define them to either 1
+or 0 to enable or disable a certain feature.
+
+We list the most frequently used macros below. For a complete list,
+see file [${GTEST\_DIR}/include/gtest/internal/gtest-port.h](
+../googletest/include/gtest/internal/gtest-port.h).
+
+### Choosing a TR1 Tuple Library ###
+
+Google Mock uses the C++ Technical Report 1 (TR1) tuple library
+heavily. Unfortunately TR1 tuple is not yet widely available with all
+compilers. The good news is that Google Test 1.4.0+ implements a
+subset of TR1 tuple that's enough for Google Mock's need. Google Mock
+will automatically use that implementation when the compiler doesn't
+provide TR1 tuple.
+
+Usually you don't need to care about which tuple library Google Test
+and Google Mock use. However, if your project already uses TR1 tuple,
+you need to tell Google Test and Google Mock 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, Google Mock, and
+your tests. If you want to force Google Test and Google Mock to use
+their own tuple library, just add
+
+ -DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=1
+
+to the compiler flags instead.
+
+If you want to use Boost's TR1 tuple library with Google Mock, please
+refer to the Boost website (http://www.boost.org/) for how to obtain
+it and set it up.
+
+### As a Shared Library (DLL) ###
+
+Google Mock is compact, so most users can build and link it as a static
+library for the simplicity. Google Mock can be used as a DLL, but the
+same DLL must contain Google Test as well. See
+[Google Test's README][gtest_readme]
+for instructions on how to set up necessary compiler settings.
+
+### Tweaking Google Mock ###
+
+Most of Google Test's control macros apply to Google Mock as well.
+Please see [Google Test's README][gtest_readme] for how to tweak them.
+
+### Upgrading from an Earlier Version ###
+
+We strive to keep Google Mock 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 Mock.
+
+#### Upgrading from 1.1.0 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](../googletest/#choosing-a-tr1-tuple-library)".
+
+#### Upgrading from 1.4.0 or Earlier ####
+
+On platforms where the pthread library is available, Google Test and
+Google Mock use it in order to be thread-safe. For this to work, you
+may need to tweak your compiler and/or linker flags. Please see the
+"[Multi-threaded Tests](../googletest#multi-threaded-tests
+)" section in file Google Test's README for what you may need to do.
+
+If you have custom matchers defined using `MatcherInterface` or
+`MakePolymorphicMatcher()`, you'll need to update their definitions to
+use the new matcher API (
+[monomorphic](./docs/CookBook.md#writing-new-monomorphic-matchers),
+[polymorphic](./docs/CookBook.md#writing-new-polymorphic-matchers)).
+Matchers defined using `MATCHER()` or `MATCHER_P*()` aren't affected.
+
+Happy testing!
