[Known issues and common problems](#known-issues)
|
||||
|
||||
## Example usage
|
||||
### Basic usage
|
||||
Define a function that executes the code to be measured.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
static void BM_StringCreation(benchmark::State& state) {
|
||||
while (state.KeepRunning())
|
||||
std::string empty_string;
|
||||
}
|
||||
// Register the function as a benchmark
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_StringCreation);
|
||||
|
||||
// Define another benchmark
|
||||
static void BM_StringCopy(benchmark::State& state) {
|
||||
std::string x = "hello";
|
||||
while (state.KeepRunning())
|
||||
std::string copy(x);
|
||||
}
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_StringCopy);
|
||||
|
||||
BENCHMARK_MAIN();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Passing arguments
|
||||
Sometimes a family of benchmarks can be implemented with just one routine that
|
||||
takes an extra argument to specify which one of the family of benchmarks to
|
||||
run. For example, the following code defines a family of benchmarks for
|
||||
measuring the speed of `memcpy()` calls of different lengths:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
static void BM_memcpy(benchmark::State& state) {
|
||||
char* src = new char[state.range(0)];
|
||||
char* dst = new char[state.range(0)];
|
||||
memset(src, 'x', state.range(0));
|
||||
while (state.KeepRunning())
|
||||
memcpy(dst, src, state.range(0));
|
||||
state.SetBytesProcessed(int64_t(state.iterations()) *
|
||||
int64_t(state.range(0)));
|
||||
delete[] src;
|
||||
delete[] dst;
|
||||
}
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_memcpy)->Arg(8)->Arg(64)->Arg(512)->Arg(1<<10)->Arg(8<<10);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The preceding code is quite repetitive, and can be replaced with the following
|
||||
short-hand. The following invocation will pick a few appropriate arguments in
|
||||
the specified range and will generate a benchmark for each such argument.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_memcpy)->Range(8, 8<<10);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default the arguments in the range are generated in multiples of eight and
|
||||
the command above selects [ 8, 64, 512, 4k, 8k ]. In the following code the
|
||||
range multiplier is changed to multiples of two.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_memcpy)->RangeMultiplier(2)->Range(8, 8<<10);
|
||||
```
|
||||
Now arguments generated are [ 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2k, 4k, 8k ].
|
||||
|
||||
You might have a benchmark that depends on two or more inputs. For example, the
|
||||
following code defines a family of benchmarks for measuring the speed of set
|
||||
insertion.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
static void BM_SetInsert(benchmark::State& state) {
|
||||
while (state.KeepRunning()) {
|
||||
state.PauseTiming();
|
||||
std::set<int> data = ConstructRandomSet(state.range(0));
|
||||
state.ResumeTiming();
|
||||
for (int j = 0; j < state.range(1); ++j)
|
||||
data.insert(RandomNumber());
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_SetInsert)
|
||||
->Args({1<<10, 1})
|
||||
->Args({1<<10, 8})
|
||||
->Args({1<<10, 64})
|
||||
->Args({1<<10, 512})
|
||||
->Args({8<<10, 1})
|
||||
->Args({8<<10, 8})
|
||||
->Args({8<<10, 64})
|
||||
->Args({8<<10, 512});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The preceding code is quite repetitive, and can be replaced with the following
|
||||
short-hand. The following macro will pick a few appropriate arguments in the
|
||||
product of the two specified ranges and will generate a benchmark for each such
|
||||
pair.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_SetInsert)->Ranges({{1<<10, 8<<10}, {1, 512}});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For more complex patterns of inputs, passing a custom function to `Apply` allows
|
||||
programmatic specification of an arbitrary set of arguments on which to run the
|
||||
benchmark. The following example enumerates a dense range on one parameter,
|
||||
and a sparse range on the second.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
static void CustomArguments(benchmark::internal::Benchmark* b) {
|
||||
for (int i = 0; i <= 10; ++i)
|
||||
for (int j = 32; j <= 1024*1024; j *= 8)
|
||||
b->Args({i, j});
|
||||
}
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_SetInsert)->Apply(CustomArguments);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Calculate asymptotic complexity (Big O)
|
||||
Asymptotic complexity might be calculated for a family of benchmarks. The
|
||||
following code will calculate the coefficient for the high-order term in the
|
||||
running time and the normalized root-mean square error of string comparison.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
static void BM_StringCompare(benchmark::State& state) {
|
||||
std::string s1(state.range(0), '-');
|
||||
std::string s2(state.range(0), '-');
|
||||
while (state.KeepRunning()) {
|
||||
benchmark::DoNotOptimize(s1.compare(s2));
|
||||
}
|
||||
state.SetComplexityN(state.range(0));
|
||||
}
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_StringCompare)
|
||||
->RangeMultiplier(2)->Range(1<<10, 1<<18)->Complexity(benchmark::oN);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As shown in the following invocation, asymptotic complexity might also be
|
||||
calculated automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_StringCompare)
|
||||
->RangeMultiplier(2)->Range(1<<10, 1<<18)->Complexity();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The following code will specify asymptotic complexity with a lambda function,
|
||||
that might be used to customize high-order term calculation.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_StringCompare)->RangeMultiplier(2)
|
||||
->Range(1<<10, 1<<18)->Complexity([](int n)->double{return n; });
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Templated benchmarks
|
||||
Templated benchmarks work the same way: This example produces and consumes
|
||||
messages of size `sizeof(v)` `range_x` times. It also outputs throughput in the
|
||||
absence of multiprogramming.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
template <class Q> int BM_Sequential(benchmark::State& state) {
|
||||
Q q;
|
||||
typename Q::value_type v;
|
||||
while (state.KeepRunning()) {
|
||||
for (int i = state.range(0); i--; )
|
||||
q.push(v);
|
||||
for (int e = state.range(0); e--; )
|
||||
q.Wait(&v);
|
||||
}
|
||||
// actually messages, not bytes:
|
||||
state.SetBytesProcessed(
|
||||
static_cast<int64_t>(state.iterations())*state.range(0));
|
||||
}
|
||||
BENCHMARK_TEMPLATE(BM_Sequential, WaitQueue<int>)->Range(1<<0, 1<<10);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Three macros are provided for adding benchmark templates.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
#if __cplusplus >= 201103L // C++11 and greater.
|
||||
#define BENCHMARK_TEMPLATE(func, ...) // Takes any number of parameters.
|
||||
#else // C++ < C++11
|
||||
#define BENCHMARK_TEMPLATE(func, arg1)
|
||||
#endif
|
||||
#define BENCHMARK_TEMPLATE1(func, arg1)
|
||||
#define BENCHMARK_TEMPLATE2(func, arg1, arg2)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Passing arbitrary arguments to a benchmark
|
||||
In C++11 it is possible to define a benchmark that takes an arbitrary number
|
||||
of extra arguments. The `BENCHMARK_CAPTURE(func, test_case_name, ...args)`
|
||||
macro creates a benchmark that invokes `func` with the `benchmark::State` as
|
||||
the first argument followed by the specified `args...`.
|
||||
The `test_case_name` is appended to the name of the benchmark and
|
||||
should describe the values passed.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
template <class ...ExtraArgs>`
|
||||
void BM_takes_args(benchmark::State& state, ExtraArgs&&... extra_args) {
|
||||
[...]
|
||||
}
|
||||
// Registers a benchmark named "BM_takes_args/int_string_test` that passes
|
||||
// the specified values to `extra_args`.
|
||||
BENCHMARK_CAPTURE(BM_takes_args, int_string_test, 42, std::string("abc"));
|
||||
```
|
||||
Note that elements of `...args` may refer to global variables. Users should
|
||||
avoid modifying global state inside of a benchmark.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using RegisterBenchmark(name, fn, args...)
|
||||
|
||||
The `RegisterBenchmark(name, func, args...)` function provides an alternative
|
||||
way to create and register benchmarks.
|
||||
`RegisterBenchmark(name, func, args...)` creates, registers, and returns a
|
||||
pointer to a new benchmark with the specified `name` that invokes
|
||||
`func(st, args...)` where `st` is a `benchmark::State` object.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike the `BENCHMARK` registration macros, which can only be used at the global
|
||||
scope, the `RegisterBenchmark` can be called anywhere. This allows for
|
||||
benchmark tests to be registered programmatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally `RegisterBenchmark` allows any callable object to be registered
|
||||
as a benchmark. Including capturing lambdas and function objects. This
|
||||
allows the creation
|
||||
|
||||
For Example:
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
auto BM_test = [](benchmark::State& st, auto Inputs) { /* ... */ };
|
||||
|
||||
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
|
||||
for (auto& test_input : { /* ... */ })
|
||||
benchmark::RegisterBenchmark(test_input.name(), BM_test, test_input);
|
||||
benchmark::Initialize(&argc, argv);
|
||||
benchmark::RunSpecifiedBenchmarks();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Multithreaded benchmarks
|
||||
In a multithreaded test (benchmark invoked by multiple threads simultaneously),
|
||||
it is guaranteed that none of the threads will start until all have called
|
||||
`KeepRunning`, and all will have finished before KeepRunning returns false. As
|
||||
such, any global setup or teardown can be wrapped in a check against the thread
|
||||
index:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
static void BM_MultiThreaded(benchmark::State& state) {
|
||||
if (state.thread_index == 0) {
|
||||
// Setup code here.
|
||||
}
|
||||
while (state.KeepRunning()) {
|
||||
// Run the test as normal.
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (state.thread_index == 0) {
|
||||
// Teardown code here.
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_MultiThreaded)->Threads(2);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the benchmarked code itself uses threads and you want to compare it to
|
||||
single-threaded code, you may want to use real-time ("wallclock") measurements
|
||||
for latency comparisons:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_test)->Range(8, 8<<10)->UseRealTime();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Without `UseRealTime`, CPU time is used by default.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Manual timing
|
||||
For benchmarking something for which neither CPU time nor real-time are
|
||||
correct or accurate enough, completely manual timing is supported using
|
||||
the `UseManualTime` function.
|
||||
|
||||
When `UseManualTime` is used, the benchmarked code must call
|
||||
`SetIterationTime` once per iteration of the `KeepRunning` loop to
|
||||
report the manually measured time.
|
||||
|
||||
An example use case for this is benchmarking GPU execution (e.g. OpenCL
|
||||
or CUDA kernels, OpenGL or Vulkan or Direct3D draw calls), which cannot
|
||||
be accurately measured using CPU time or real-time. Instead, they can be
|
||||
measured accurately using a dedicated API, and these measurement results
|
||||
can be reported back with `SetIterationTime`.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
static void BM_ManualTiming(benchmark::State& state) {
|
||||
int microseconds = state.range(0);
|
||||
std::chrono::duration<double, std::micro> sleep_duration {
|
||||
static_cast<double>(microseconds)
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
while (state.KeepRunning()) {
|
||||
auto start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
|
||||
// Simulate some useful workload with a sleep
|
||||
std::this_thread::sleep_for(sleep_duration);
|
||||
auto end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
|
||||
|
||||
auto elapsed_seconds =
|
||||
std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::duration<double>>(
|
||||
end - start);
|
||||
|
||||
state.SetIterationTime(elapsed_seconds.count());
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_ManualTiming)->Range(1, 1<<17)->UseManualTime();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Preventing optimisation
|
||||
To prevent a value or expression from being optimized away by the compiler
|
||||
the `benchmark::DoNotOptimize(...)` and `benchmark::ClobberMemory()`
|
||||
functions can be used.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
static void BM_test(benchmark::State& state) {
|
||||
while (state.KeepRunning()) {
|
||||
int x = 0;
|
||||
for (int i=0; i < 64; ++i) {
|
||||
benchmark::DoNotOptimize(x += i);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`DoNotOptimize(<expr>)` forces the *result* of `<expr>` to be stored in either
|
||||
memory or a register. For GNU based compilers it acts as read/write barrier
|
||||
for global memory. More specifically it forces the compiler to flush pending
|
||||
writes to memory and reload any other values as necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that `DoNotOptimize(<expr>)` does not prevent optimizations on `<expr>`
|
||||
in any way. `<expr>` may even be removed entirely when the result is already
|
||||
known. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
/* Example 1: `<expr>` is removed entirely. */
|
||||
int foo(int x) { return x + 42; }
|
||||
while (...) DoNotOptimize(foo(0)); // Optimized to DoNotOptimize(42);
|
||||
|
||||
/* Example 2: Result of '<expr>' is only reused */
|
||||
int bar(int) __attribute__((const));
|
||||
while (...) DoNotOptimize(bar(0)); // Optimized to:
|
||||
// int __result__ = bar(0);
|
||||
// while (...) DoNotOptimize(__result__);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The second tool for preventing optimizations is `ClobberMemory()`. In essence
|
||||
`ClobberMemory()` forces the compiler to perform all pending writes to global
|
||||
memory. Memory managed by block scope objects must be "escaped" using
|
||||
`DoNotOptimize(...)` before it can be clobbered. In the below example
|
||||
`ClobberMemory()` prevents the call to `v.push_back(42)` from being optimized
|
||||
away.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
static void BM_vector_push_back(benchmark::State& state) {
|
||||
while (state.KeepRunning()) {
|
||||
std::vector<int> v;
|
||||
v.reserve(1);
|
||||
benchmark::DoNotOptimize(v.data()); // Allow v.data() to be clobbered.
|
||||
v.push_back(42);
|
||||
benchmark::ClobberMemory(); // Force 42 to be written to memory.
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that `ClobberMemory()` is only available for GNU based compilers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Set time unit manually
|
||||
If a benchmark runs a few milliseconds it may be hard to visually compare the
|
||||
measured times, since the output data is given in nanoseconds per default. In
|
||||
order to manually set the time unit, you can specify it manually:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
BENCHMARK(BM_test)->Unit(benchmark::kMillisecond);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Controlling number of iterations
|
||||
In all cases, the number of iterations for which the benchmark is run is
|
||||
governed by the amount of time the benchmark takes. Concretely, the number of
|
||||
iterations is at least one, not more than 1e9, until CPU time is greater than
|
||||
the minimum time, or the wallclock time is 5x minimum time. The minimum time is
|
||||
set as a flag `--benchmark_min_time` or per benchmark by calling `MinTime` on
|
||||
the registered benchmark object.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reporting the mean and standard devation by repeated benchmarks
|
||||
By default each benchmark is run once and that single result is reported.
|
||||
However benchmarks are often noisy and a single result may not be representative
|
||||
of the overall behavior. For this reason it's possible to repeatedly rerun the
|
||||
benchmark.
|
||||
|
||||
The number of runs of each benchmark is specified globally by the
|
||||
`--benchmark_repetitions` flag or on a per benchmark basis by calling
|
||||
`Repetitions` on the registered benchmark object. When a benchmark is run
|
||||
more than once the mean and standard deviation of the runs will be reported.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally the `--benchmark_report_aggregates_only={true|false}` flag or
|
||||
`ReportAggregatesOnly(bool)` function can be used to change how repeated tests
|
||||
are reported. By default the result of each repeated run is reported. When this
|
||||
option is 'true' only the mean and standard deviation of the runs is reported.
|
||||
Calling `ReportAggregatesOnly(bool)` on a registered benchmark object overrides
|
||||
the value of the flag for that benchmark.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fixtures
|
||||
Fixture tests are created by
|
||||
first defining a type that derives from ::benchmark::Fixture and then
|
||||
creating/registering the tests using the following macros:
|
||||
|
||||
* `BENCHMARK_F(ClassName, Method)`
|
||||
* `BENCHMARK_DEFINE_F(ClassName, Method)`
|
||||
* `BENCHMARK_REGISTER_F(ClassName, Method)`
|
||||
|
||||
For Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
class MyFixture : public benchmark::Fixture {};
|
||||
|
||||
BENCHMARK_F(MyFixture, FooTest)(benchmark::State& st) {
|
||||
while (st.KeepRunning()) {
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
BENCHMARK_DEFINE_F(MyFixture, BarTest)(benchmark::State& st) {
|
||||
while (st.KeepRunning()) {
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
/* BarTest is NOT registered */
|
||||
BENCHMARK_REGISTER_F(MyFixture, BarTest)->Threads(2);
|
||||
/* BarTest is now registered */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Exiting Benchmarks in Error
|
||||
|
||||
When errors caused by external influences, such as file I/O and network
|
||||
communication, occur within a benchmark the
|
||||
`State::SkipWithError(const char* msg)` function can be used to skip that run
|
||||
of benchmark and report the error. Note that only future iterations of the
|
||||
`KeepRunning()` are skipped. Users may explicitly return to exit the
|
||||
benchmark immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
The `SkipWithError(...)` function may be used at any point within the benchmark,
|
||||
including before and after the `KeepRunning()` loop.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
static void BM_test(benchmark::State& state) {
|
||||
auto resource = GetResource();
|
||||
if (!resource.good()) {
|
||||
state.SkipWithError("Resource is not good!");
|
||||
// KeepRunning() loop will not be entered.
|
||||
}
|
||||
while (state.KeepRunning()) {
|
||||
auto data = resource.read_data();
|
||||
if (!resource.good()) {
|
||||
state.SkipWithError("Failed to read data!");
|
||||
break; // Needed to skip the rest of the iteration.
|
||||
}
|
||||
do_stuff(data);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Running a subset of the benchmarks
|
||||
|
||||
The `--benchmark_filter=<regex>` option can be used to only run the benchmarks
|
||||
which match the specified `<regex>`. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ./run_benchmarks.x --benchmark_filter=BM_memcpy/32
|
||||
Run on (1 X 2300 MHz CPU )

|
||||
BM_memcpy/32k 2181 ns 2185 ns 324074

BM_memcpy/32k 1834 ns 1837 ns 357143
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Output Formats
|
||||
The library supports multiple output formats. Use the
|
||||
`--benchmark_format=<console|json|csv>` flag to set the format type. `console`
|
||||
is the default format.
|
||||
|
||||
The Console format is intended to be a human readable format. By default
|
||||
the format generates color output. Context is output on stderr and the
|
||||
tabular data on stdout. Example tabular output looks like:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Benchmark Time(ns) CPU(ns) Iterations
|
||||

||||
BM_SetInsert/1024/1 28928 29349 23853 133.097kB/s 33.2742k items/s
|
||||
BM_SetInsert/1024/8 32065 32913 21375 949.487kB/s 237.372k items/s
|
||||
BM_SetInsert/1024/10 33157 33648 21431 1.13369MB/s 290.225k items/s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The JSON format outputs human readable json split into two top level attributes.
|
||||
The `context` attribute contains information about the run in general, including
|
||||
information about the CPU and the date.
|
||||
The `benchmarks` attribute contains a list of ever benchmark run. Example json
|
||||
output looks like:
|
||||
``` json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"context": {
|
||||
"date": "2015/03/17-18:40:25",
|
||||
"num_cpus": 40,
|
||||
"mhz_per_cpu": 2801,
|
||||
"cpu_scaling_enabled": false,
|
||||
"build_type": "debug"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"benchmarks": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "BM_SetInsert/1024/1",
|
||||
"iterations": 94877,
|
||||
"real_time": 29275,
|
||||
"cpu_time": 29836,
|
||||
"bytes_per_second": 134066,
|
||||
"items_per_second": 33516
|
||||

|
||||
{
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
"real_time": 32317,
|
||||
"cpu_time": 32429,
|
||||
"bytes_per_second": 986770,
|
||||
"items_per_second": 246693
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "BM_SetInsert/1024/10",
|
||||
"iterations": 21393,
|
||||
"real_time": 32724,
|
||||
"cpu_time": 33355,
|
||||
"bytes_per_second": 1199226,
|
||||
"items_per_second": 299807
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The CSV format outputs comma-separated values. The `context` is output on stderr
|
||||
and the CSV itself on stdout. Example CSV output looks like:
|
||||
```
|
||||
name,iterations,real_time,cpu_time,bytes_per_second,items_per_second,label
|
||||
"BM_SetInsert/1024/1",65465,17890.7,8407.45,475768,118942,
|
||||
"BM_SetInsert/1024/8",116606,18810.1,9766.64,3.27646e+06,819115,
|
||||
"BM_SetInsert/1024/10",106365,17238.4,8421.53,4.74973e+06,1.18743e+06,
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Output Files
|
||||
The library supports writing the output of the benchmark to a file specified
|
||||
by `--benchmark_out=<filename>`. The format of the output can be specified
|
||||
using `--benchmark_out_format={json|console|csv}`. Specifying
|
||||
`--benchmark_out` does not suppress the console output.
|
||||
|
||||
## Debug vs Release
|
||||
By default, benchmark builds as a debug library. You will see a warning in the output when this is the case. To build it as a release library instead, use:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To enable link-time optimisation, use
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBENCHMARK_ENABLE_LTO=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Linking against the library
|
||||
When using gcc, it is necessary to link against pthread to avoid runtime exceptions.
|
||||
This is due to how gcc implements std::thread.
|
||||
See [issue #67](https://github.com/google/benchmark/issues/67) for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
## Compiler Support
|
||||
|
||||
Google Benchmark uses C++11 when building the library. As such we require
|
||||
a modern C++ toolchain, both compiler and standard library.
|
||||
|
||||
The following minimum versions are strongly recommended build the library:
|
||||
|
||||
* GCC 4.8
|
||||
* Clang 3.4
|
||||
* Visual Studio 2013
|
||||
|
||||
Anything older *may* work.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Using the library and its headers in C++03 is supported. C++11 is only
|
||||
required to build the library.
|
||||
|
||||
# Known Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
* Users must manually link `shlwapi.lib`. Failure to do so may result
|
||||
in unresolved symbols.

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 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!
|
||||
|
||||
Getting started information for **Google Test** is available in the
|
||||
[Google Test Primer](googletest/docs/Primer.md) documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Google Mock** is an extension to Google Test for writing and using C++ mock
|
||||
classes. See the separate [Google Mock documentation](googlemock/README.md).
|
||||
|
||||
More detailed documentation for googletest (including build instructions) are
|
||||
in its interior [googletest/README.md](googletest/README.md) file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features ##
|
||||
|
||||
* An [XUnit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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
|
||||
|
||||
## 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](http://www.chromium.org/) (behind the Chrome
|
||||
browser and Chrome OS).
|
||||
* The [LLVM](http://llvm.org/) compiler.
|
||||
* [Protocol Buffers](https://github.com/google/protobuf), Google's data
|
||||
interchange format.
|
||||
* The [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/) computer vision library.
|
||||
|
||||
## Related Open Source Projects ##
|
||||
|
||||
[Google Test UI](https://github.com/ospector/gtest-gbar) 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](https://github.com/kinow/gtest-tap-listener) is an event
|
||||
listener for Google Test that implements the
|
||||
[TAP protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_Anything_Protocol) for test
|
||||
result output. If your test runner understands TAP, you may find it useful.
|
||||
|
||||
## 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++98-standard-compliant compiler
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows Requirements ###
|
||||
|
||||
* Microsoft Visual C++ v7.1 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
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements for Contributors ###
|
||||
|
||||
We welcome patches. If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to
|
||||
build Google Test and its own tests from a git checkout (described
|
||||
below), which has further requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
* [Python](https://www.python.org/) v2.3 or newer (for running some of
|
||||
the tests and re-generating certain source files from templates)
|
||||
* [CMake](https://cmake.org/) v2.6.4 or newer
|
||||
|
||||
## Regenerating Source Files ##
|
||||
|
||||
Some of Google Test's source files are generated from templates (not
|
||||
in the C++ sense) using a script.
|
||||
For example, the
|
||||
file include/gtest/internal/gtest-type-util.h.pump is used to generate
|
||||
gtest-type-util.h in the same directory.
|
||||
|
||||
You don't need to worry about regenerating the source files
|
||||
unless you need to modify them. You would then modify the
|
||||
corresponding `.pump` files and run the '[pump.py](googletest/scripts/pump.py)'
|
||||
generator script. See the [Pump Manual](googletest/docs/PumpManual.md).
|
||||
|
||||

## 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 a 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](../googletest/docs/Primer.md) of
|
||||
Google Test, if you choose to use Google Mock with it (recommended).
|
||||
* Read [Google Mock for Dummies](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:
|
||||
|
||||
* [CheatSheet](docs/CheatSheet.md) - all the commonly used stuff
|
||||
at a glance.
|
||||
* [CookBook](docs/CookBook.md) - recipes for getting things done,
|
||||
including advanced techniques.

If you need help, please check the
|
||||
[KnownIssues](docs/KnownIssues.md) and
|
||||
[FrequentlyAskedQuestions](docs/FrequentlyAskedQuestions.md) before

||||
posting a question on the
|
||||
[discussion group](http://groups.google.com/group/googlemock).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 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](http://code.google.com/p/googletest/), but
|
||||
you can also use it with [any C++ testing framework](googlemock/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"](
|
||||
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 ###
|
||||
|
||||
#### 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](http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/wiki/CookBook#Writing_New_Monomorphic_Matchers),
|
||||
[polymorphic](http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/wiki/CookBook#Writing_New_Polymorphic_Matchers)).
|
||||
Matchers defined using `MATCHER()` or `MATCHER_P*()` aren't affected.
|
||||
|
||||
### Developing Google Mock ###
|
||||
|
||||
This section discusses how to make your own changes to Google Mock.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Testing Google Mock 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'll need Autotools. First, make sure you have followed
|
||||
the instructions above to configure Google Mock.
|
||||
Then, create a build output directory and enter it. Next,
|
||||
|
||||
${GMOCK_DIR}/configure # try --help for more info
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have successfully configured Google Mock, the build steps are
|
||||
standard for GNU-style OSS packages.
|
||||
|
||||
make # Standard makefile following GNU conventions
|
||||
make check # Builds and runs all tests - all should pass.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that when building your project against Google Mock, you are building
|
||||
against Google Test as well. There is no need to configure Google Test
|
||||
separately.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Contributing a Patch ####
|
||||
|
||||
We welcome patches.
|
||||
Please read the [Developer's Guide](docs/DevGuide.md)
|
||||
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.

### Generic Build Instructions ###
|
||||
|
||||
#### Setup ####
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Build ####
|
||||
|
||||
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` in the system header search path and `${GTEST_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} \
|
||||
-pthread -c ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc
|
||||
ar -rv libgtest.a gtest-all.o
|
||||
|
||||
(We need `-pthread` as Google Test uses threads.)
|
||||
|
||||
Next, you should compile your test source file with
|
||||
`${GTEST_DIR}/include` in the system header search path, and link it
|
||||
with gtest and any other necessary libraries:
|
||||
|
||||
g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -pthread 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](CMakeLists.txt)) that can be used on a wide range of platforms ("C" stands for
|
||||
cross-platform.). 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 -Dgtest_build_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 Visual 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.
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to use the Google Test Xcode project with Xcode 4.x and
|
||||
above, you need to either:
|
||||
|
||||
* update the SDK configuration options in xcode/Config/General.xconfig.
|
||||
Comment options `SDKROOT`, `MACOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET`, and `GCC_VERSION`. If
|
||||
you choose this route you lose the ability to target earlier versions
|
||||
of MacOS X.
|
||||
* Install an SDK for an earlier version. This doesn't appear to be
|
||||
supported by Apple, but has been reported to work
|
||||
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5378518).
|
||||
|
||||
### 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](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.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: while the above steps aren't technically necessary today when
|
||||
using some compilers (e.g. GCC), they may become necessary in the
|
||||
future, if we decide to improve the speed of loading the library (see
|
||||
<http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility> for details). Therefore you are
|
||||
recommended to always add the above flags when using Google Test as a
|
||||
shared library. Otherwise a future release of Google Test may break
|
||||
your build script.
|
||||
|
||||
### 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.
|
||||
|
||||
## 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 -Dgtest_build_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 -Dgtest_build_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.
|
||||
|
||||
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/](scripts/) directory.
|
||||
Read the [Pump manual](docs/PumpManual.md) for how to use it.
