## Setting Expectations {#ExpectCall}
-`EXPECT_CALL()` sets **expectations** on a mock method (How will it be called?
-What will it do?):
-
-```cpp
-EXPECT_CALL(mock-object, method (matchers)?)
- .With(multi-argument-matcher) ?
- .Times(cardinality) ?
- .InSequence(sequences) *
- .After(expectations) *
- .WillOnce(action) *
- .WillRepeatedly(action) ?
- .RetiresOnSaturation(); ?
-```
-
-For each item above, `?` means it can be used at most once, while `*` means it
-can be used any number of times.
-
-In order to pass, `EXPECT_CALL` must be used before the calls are actually made.
-
-The `(matchers)` is a comma-separated list of matchers that correspond to each
-of the arguments of `method`, and sets the expectation only for calls of
-`method` that matches all of the matchers.
-
-If `(matchers)` is omitted, the expectation is the same as if the matchers were
-set to anything matchers (for example, `(_, _, _, _)` for a four-arg method).
-
-If `Times()` is omitted, the cardinality is assumed to be:
-
-* `Times(1)` when there is neither `WillOnce()` nor `WillRepeatedly()`;
-* `Times(n)` when there are `n` `WillOnce()`s but no `WillRepeatedly()`, where
- `n` >= 1; or
-* `Times(AtLeast(n))` when there are `n` `WillOnce()`s and a
- `WillRepeatedly()`, where `n` >= 0.
-
-A method with no `EXPECT_CALL()` is free to be invoked *any number of times*,
-and the default action will be taken each time.
+See [`EXPECT_CALL`](reference/mocking.md#EXPECT_CALL) in the Mocking Reference.
## Matchers {#MatcherList}
-<!-- GOOGLETEST_CM0020 DO NOT DELETE -->
-
-A **matcher** matches a *single* argument. You can use it inside `ON_CALL()` or
-`EXPECT_CALL()`, or use it to validate a value directly using two macros:
-
-<!-- mdformat off(github rendering does not support multiline tables) -->
-| Macro | Description |
-| :----------------------------------- | :------------------------------------ |
-| `EXPECT_THAT(actual_value, matcher)` | Asserts that `actual_value` matches `matcher`. |
-| `ASSERT_THAT(actual_value, matcher)` | The same as `EXPECT_THAT(actual_value, matcher)`, except that it generates a **fatal** failure. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-**Note:** Although equality matching via `EXPECT_THAT(actual_value,
-expected_value)` is supported, prefer to make the comparison explicit via
-`EXPECT_THAT(actual_value, Eq(expected_value))` or `EXPECT_EQ(actual_value,
-expected_value)`.
-
-Built-in matchers (where `argument` is the function argument, e.g.
-`actual_value` in the example above, or when used in the context of
-`EXPECT_CALL(mock_object, method(matchers))`, the arguments of `method`) are
-divided into several categories:
-
-### Wildcard
-
-Matcher | Description
-:-------------------------- | :-----------------------------------------------
-`_` | `argument` can be any value of the correct type.
-`A<type>()` or `An<type>()` | `argument` can be any value of type `type`.
-
-### Generic Comparison
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :--------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------- |
-| `Eq(value)` or `value` | `argument == value` |
-| `Ge(value)` | `argument >= value` |
-| `Gt(value)` | `argument > value` |
-| `Le(value)` | `argument <= value` |
-| `Lt(value)` | `argument < value` |
-| `Ne(value)` | `argument != value` |
-| `IsFalse()` | `argument` evaluates to `false` in a Boolean context. |
-| `IsTrue()` | `argument` evaluates to `true` in a Boolean context. |
-| `IsNull()` | `argument` is a `NULL` pointer (raw or smart). |
-| `NotNull()` | `argument` is a non-null pointer (raw or smart). |
-| `Optional(m)` | `argument` is `optional<>` that contains a value matching `m`. (For testing whether an `optional<>` is set, check for equality with `nullopt`. You may need to use `Eq(nullopt)` if the inner type doesn't have `==`.)|
-| `VariantWith<T>(m)` | `argument` is `variant<>` that holds the alternative of type T with a value matching `m`. |
-| `Ref(variable)` | `argument` is a reference to `variable`. |
-| `TypedEq<type>(value)` | `argument` has type `type` and is equal to `value`. You may need to use this instead of `Eq(value)` when the mock function is overloaded. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-Except `Ref()`, these matchers make a *copy* of `value` in case it's modified or
-destructed later. If the compiler complains that `value` doesn't have a public
-copy constructor, try wrap it in `std::ref()`, e.g.
-`Eq(std::ref(non_copyable_value))`. If you do that, make sure
-`non_copyable_value` is not changed afterwards, or the meaning of your matcher
-will be changed.
-
-`IsTrue` and `IsFalse` are useful when you need to use a matcher, or for types
-that can be explicitly converted to Boolean, but are not implicitly converted to
-Boolean. In other cases, you can use the basic
-[`EXPECT_TRUE` and `EXPECT_FALSE`](../../googletest/docs/primer#basic-assertions)
-assertions.
-
-### Floating-Point Matchers {#FpMatchers}
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :------------------------------- | :--------------------------------- |
-| `DoubleEq(a_double)` | `argument` is a `double` value approximately equal to `a_double`, treating two NaNs as unequal. |
-| `FloatEq(a_float)` | `argument` is a `float` value approximately equal to `a_float`, treating two NaNs as unequal. |
-| `NanSensitiveDoubleEq(a_double)` | `argument` is a `double` value approximately equal to `a_double`, treating two NaNs as equal. |
-| `NanSensitiveFloatEq(a_float)` | `argument` is a `float` value approximately equal to `a_float`, treating two NaNs as equal. |
-| `IsNan()` | `argument` is any floating-point type with a NaN value. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-The above matchers use ULP-based comparison (the same as used in googletest).
-They automatically pick a reasonable error bound based on the absolute value of
-the expected value. `DoubleEq()` and `FloatEq()` conform to the IEEE standard,
-which requires comparing two NaNs for equality to return false. The
-`NanSensitive*` version instead treats two NaNs as equal, which is often what a
-user wants.
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :------------------------------------------------ | :----------------------- |
-| `DoubleNear(a_double, max_abs_error)` | `argument` is a `double` value close to `a_double` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as unequal. |
-| `FloatNear(a_float, max_abs_error)` | `argument` is a `float` value close to `a_float` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as unequal. |
-| `NanSensitiveDoubleNear(a_double, max_abs_error)` | `argument` is a `double` value close to `a_double` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as equal. |
-| `NanSensitiveFloatNear(a_float, max_abs_error)` | `argument` is a `float` value close to `a_float` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as equal. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-### String Matchers
-
-The `argument` can be either a C string or a C++ string object:
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :---------------------- | :------------------------------------------------- |
-| `ContainsRegex(string)` | `argument` matches the given regular expression. |
-| `EndsWith(suffix)` | `argument` ends with string `suffix`. |
-| `HasSubstr(string)` | `argument` contains `string` as a sub-string. |
-| `MatchesRegex(string)` | `argument` matches the given regular expression with the match starting at the first character and ending at the last character. |
-| `StartsWith(prefix)` | `argument` starts with string `prefix`. |
-| `StrCaseEq(string)` | `argument` is equal to `string`, ignoring case. |
-| `StrCaseNe(string)` | `argument` is not equal to `string`, ignoring case. |
-| `StrEq(string)` | `argument` is equal to `string`. |
-| `StrNe(string)` | `argument` is not equal to `string`. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-`ContainsRegex()` and `MatchesRegex()` take ownership of the `RE` object. They
-use the regular expression syntax defined
-[here](../../googletest/docs/advanced.md#regular-expression-syntax). All of
-these matchers, except `ContainsRegex()` and `MatchesRegex()` work for wide
-strings as well.
-
-### Container Matchers
-
-Most STL-style containers support `==`, so you can use `Eq(expected_container)`
-or simply `expected_container` to match a container exactly. If you want to
-write the elements in-line, match them more flexibly, or get more informative
-messages, you can use:
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :---------------------------------------- | :------------------------------- |
-| `BeginEndDistanceIs(m)` | `argument` is a container whose `begin()` and `end()` iterators are separated by a number of increments matching `m`. E.g. `BeginEndDistanceIs(2)` or `BeginEndDistanceIs(Lt(2))`. For containers that define a `size()` method, `SizeIs(m)` may be more efficient. |
-| `ContainerEq(container)` | The same as `Eq(container)` except that the failure message also includes which elements are in one container but not the other. |
-| `Contains(e)` | `argument` contains an element that matches `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher. |
-| `Each(e)` | `argument` is a container where *every* element matches `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher. |
-| `ElementsAre(e0, e1, ..., en)` | `argument` has `n + 1` elements, where the *i*-th element matches `ei`, which can be a value or a matcher. |
-| `ElementsAreArray({e0, e1, ..., en})`, `ElementsAreArray(a_container)`, `ElementsAreArray(begin, end)`, `ElementsAreArray(array)`, or `ElementsAreArray(array, count)` | The same as `ElementsAre()` except that the expected element values/matchers come from an initializer list, STL-style container, iterator range, or C-style array. |
-| `IsEmpty()` | `argument` is an empty container (`container.empty()`). |
-| `IsSubsetOf({e0, e1, ..., en})`, `IsSubsetOf(a_container)`, `IsSubsetOf(begin, end)`, `IsSubsetOf(array)`, or `IsSubsetOf(array, count)` | `argument` matches `UnorderedElementsAre(x0, x1, ..., xk)` for some subset `{x0, x1, ..., xk}` of the expected matchers. |
-| `IsSupersetOf({e0, e1, ..., en})`, `IsSupersetOf(a_container)`, `IsSupersetOf(begin, end)`, `IsSupersetOf(array)`, or `IsSupersetOf(array, count)` | Some subset of `argument` matches `UnorderedElementsAre(`expected matchers`)`. |
-| `Pointwise(m, container)`, `Pointwise(m, {e0, e1, ..., en})` | `argument` contains the same number of elements as in `container`, and for all i, (the i-th element in `argument`, the i-th element in `container`) match `m`, which is a matcher on 2-tuples. E.g. `Pointwise(Le(), upper_bounds)` verifies that each element in `argument` doesn't exceed the corresponding element in `upper_bounds`. See more detail below. |
-| `SizeIs(m)` | `argument` is a container whose size matches `m`. E.g. `SizeIs(2)` or `SizeIs(Lt(2))`. |
-| `UnorderedElementsAre(e0, e1, ..., en)` | `argument` has `n + 1` elements, and under *some* permutation of the elements, each element matches an `ei` (for a different `i`), which can be a value or a matcher. |
-| `UnorderedElementsAreArray({e0, e1, ..., en})`, `UnorderedElementsAreArray(a_container)`, `UnorderedElementsAreArray(begin, end)`, `UnorderedElementsAreArray(array)`, or `UnorderedElementsAreArray(array, count)` | The same as `UnorderedElementsAre()` except that the expected element values/matchers come from an initializer list, STL-style container, iterator range, or C-style array. |
-| `UnorderedPointwise(m, container)`, `UnorderedPointwise(m, {e0, e1, ..., en})` | Like `Pointwise(m, container)`, but ignores the order of elements. |
-| `WhenSorted(m)` | When `argument` is sorted using the `<` operator, it matches container matcher `m`. E.g. `WhenSorted(ElementsAre(1, 2, 3))` verifies that `argument` contains elements 1, 2, and 3, ignoring order. |
-| `WhenSortedBy(comparator, m)` | The same as `WhenSorted(m)`, except that the given comparator instead of `<` is used to sort `argument`. E.g. `WhenSortedBy(std::greater(), ElementsAre(3, 2, 1))`. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-**Notes:**
-
-* These matchers can also match:
- 1. a native array passed by reference (e.g. in `Foo(const int (&a)[5])`),
- and
- 2. an array passed as a pointer and a count (e.g. in `Bar(const T* buffer,
- int len)` -- see [Multi-argument Matchers](#MultiArgMatchers)).
-* The array being matched may be multi-dimensional (i.e. its elements can be
- arrays).
-* `m` in `Pointwise(m, ...)` should be a matcher for `::std::tuple<T, U>`
- where `T` and `U` are the element type of the actual container and the
- expected container, respectively. For example, to compare two `Foo`
- containers where `Foo` doesn't support `operator==`, one might write:
-
- ```cpp
- using ::std::get;
- MATCHER(FooEq, "") {
- return std::get<0>(arg).Equals(std::get<1>(arg));
- }
- ...
- EXPECT_THAT(actual_foos, Pointwise(FooEq(), expected_foos));
- ```
-
-### Member Matchers
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :------------------------------ | :----------------------------------------- |
-| `Field(&class::field, m)` | `argument.field` (or `argument->field` when `argument` is a plain pointer) matches matcher `m`, where `argument` is an object of type _class_. |
-| `Key(e)` | `argument.first` matches `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher. E.g. `Contains(Key(Le(5)))` can verify that a `map` contains a key `<= 5`. |
-| `Pair(m1, m2)` | `argument` is an `std::pair` whose `first` field matches `m1` and `second` field matches `m2`. |
-| `FieldsAre(m...)` | `argument` is a compatible object where each field matches piecewise with `m...`. A compatible object is any that supports the `std::tuple_size<Obj>`+`get<I>(obj)` protocol. In C++17 and up this also supports types compatible with structured bindings, like aggregates. |
-| `Property(&class::property, m)` | `argument.property()` (or `argument->property()` when `argument` is a plain pointer) matches matcher `m`, where `argument` is an object of type _class_. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-### Matching the Result of a Function, Functor, or Callback
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :--------------- | :------------------------------------------------ |
-| `ResultOf(f, m)` | `f(argument)` matches matcher `m`, where `f` is a function or functor. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-### Pointer Matchers
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :------------------------ | :---------------------------------------------- |
-| `Address(m)` | the result of `std::addressof(argument)` matches `m`. |
-| `Pointee(m)` | `argument` (either a smart pointer or a raw pointer) points to a value that matches matcher `m`. |
-| `Pointer(m)` | `argument` (either a smart pointer or a raw pointer) contains a pointer that matches `m`. `m` will match against the raw pointer regardless of the type of `argument`. |
-| `WhenDynamicCastTo<T>(m)` | when `argument` is passed through `dynamic_cast<T>()`, it matches matcher `m`. |

-### Multi-argument Matchers {#MultiArgMatchers}
-
-Technically, all matchers match a *single* value. A "multi-argument" matcher is
-just one that matches a *tuple*. The following matchers can be used to match a
-tuple `(x, y)`:
-
-Matcher | Description
-:------ | :----------
-`Eq()` | `x == y`
-`Ge()` | `x >= y`
-`Gt()` | `x > y`
-`Le()` | `x <= y`
-`Lt()` | `x < y`
-`Ne()` | `x != y`
-
-You can use the following selectors to pick a subset of the arguments (or
-reorder them) to participate in the matching:
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------- |
-| `AllArgs(m)` | Equivalent to `m`. Useful as syntactic sugar in `.With(AllArgs(m))`. |
-| `Args<N1, N2, ..., Nk>(m)` | The tuple of the `k` selected (using 0-based indices) arguments matches `m`, e.g. `Args<1, 2>(Eq())`. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-### Composite Matchers
-
-You can make a matcher from one or more other matchers:
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------- |
-| `AllOf(m1, m2, ..., mn)` | `argument` matches all of the matchers `m1` to `mn`. |
-| `AllOfArray({m0, m1, ..., mn})`, `AllOfArray(a_container)`, `AllOfArray(begin, end)`, `AllOfArray(array)`, or `AllOfArray(array, count)` | The same as `AllOf()` except that the matchers come from an initializer list, STL-style container, iterator range, or C-style array. |
-| `AnyOf(m1, m2, ..., mn)` | `argument` matches at least one of the matchers `m1` to `mn`. |
-| `AnyOfArray({m0, m1, ..., mn})`, `AnyOfArray(a_container)`, `AnyOfArray(begin, end)`, `AnyOfArray(array)`, or `AnyOfArray(array, count)` | The same as `AnyOf()` except that the matchers come from an initializer list, STL-style container, iterator range, or C-style array. |
-| `Not(m)` | `argument` doesn't match matcher `m`. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-<!-- GOOGLETEST_CM0028 DO NOT DELETE -->
-
-### Adapters for Matchers
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :---------------------- | :------------------------------------ |
-| `MatcherCast<T>(m)` | casts matcher `m` to type `Matcher<T>`. |
-| `SafeMatcherCast<T>(m)` | [safely casts](gmock_cook_book.md#casting-matchers) matcher `m` to type `Matcher<T>`. |
-| `Truly(predicate)` | `predicate(argument)` returns something considered by C++ to be true, where `predicate` is a function or functor. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-`AddressSatisfies(callback)` and `Truly(callback)` take ownership of `callback`,
-which must be a permanent callback.
-
-### Using Matchers as Predicates {#MatchersAsPredicatesCheat}
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :---------------------------- | :------------------------------------------ |
-| `Matches(m)(value)` | evaluates to `true` if `value` matches `m`. You can use `Matches(m)` alone as a unary functor. |
-| `ExplainMatchResult(m, value, result_listener)` | evaluates to `true` if `value` matches `m`, explaining the result to `result_listener`. |
-| `Value(value, m)` | evaluates to `true` if `value` matches `m`. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-### Defining Matchers
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :----------------------------------- | :------------------------------------ |
-| `MATCHER(IsEven, "") { return (arg % 2) == 0; }` | Defines a matcher `IsEven()` to match an even number. |
-| `MATCHER_P(IsDivisibleBy, n, "") { *result_listener << "where the remainder is " << (arg % n); return (arg % n) == 0; }` | Defines a matcher `IsDivisibleBy(n)` to match a number divisible by `n`. |
-| `MATCHER_P2(IsBetween, a, b, absl::StrCat(negation ? "isn't" : "is", " between ", PrintToString(a), " and ", PrintToString(b))) { return a <= arg && arg <= b; }` | Defines a matcher `IsBetween(a, b)` to match a value in the range [`a`, `b`]. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-**Notes:**
-
-1. The `MATCHER*` macros cannot be used inside a function or class.
-2. The matcher body must be *purely functional* (i.e. it cannot have any side
- effect, and the result must not depend on anything other than the value
- being matched and the matcher parameters).
-3. You can use `PrintToString(x)` to convert a value `x` of any type to a
- string.
+See the [Matchers Reference](reference/matchers.md).
## Actions {#ActionList}
-**Actions** specify what a mock function should do when invoked.
-
-### Returning a Value
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| | |
-| :-------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------- |
-| `Return()` | Return from a `void` mock function. |
-| `Return(value)` | Return `value`. If the type of `value` is different to the mock function's return type, `value` is converted to the latter type <i>at the time the expectation is set</i>, not when the action is executed. |
-| `ReturnArg<N>()` | Return the `N`-th (0-based) argument. |
-| `ReturnNew<T>(a1, ..., ak)` | Return `new T(a1, ..., ak)`; a different object is created each time. |
-| `ReturnNull()` | Return a null pointer. |
-| `ReturnPointee(ptr)` | Return the value pointed to by `ptr`. |
-| `ReturnRef(variable)` | Return a reference to `variable`. |
-| `ReturnRefOfCopy(value)` | Return a reference to a copy of `value`; the copy lives as long as the action. |
-| `ReturnRoundRobin({a1, ..., ak})` | Each call will return the next `ai` in the list, starting at the beginning when the end of the list is reached. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-### Side Effects

-| `DeleteArg<N>()` | Delete the `N`-th (0-based) argument, which must be a pointer. |
-| `SaveArg<N>(pointer)` | Save the `N`-th (0-based) argument to `*pointer`. |
-| `SaveArgPointee<N>(pointer)` | Save the value pointed to by the `N`-th (0-based) argument to `*pointer`. |

-| `SetArgumentPointee<N>(value)` | Same as `SetArgPointee<N>(value)`. Deprecated. Will be removed in v1.7.0. |
-| `SetArrayArgument<N>(first, last)` | Copies the elements in source range [`first`, `last`) to the array pointed to by the `N`-th (0-based) argument, which can be either a pointer or an iterator. The action does not take ownership of the elements in the source range. |
-| `SetErrnoAndReturn(error, value)` | Set `errno` to `error` and return `value`. |
-| `Throw(exception)` | Throws the given exception, which can be any copyable value. Available since v1.1.0. |

-In the following, by "callable" we mean a free function, `std::function`,
-functor, or lambda.
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| | |
-| :---------------------------------- | :------------------------------------- |
-| `f` | Invoke f with the arguments passed to the mock function, where f is a callable. |
-| `Invoke(f)` | Invoke `f` with the arguments passed to the mock function, where `f` can be a global/static function or a functor. |
-| `Invoke(object_pointer, &class::method)` | Invoke the method on the object with the arguments passed to the mock function. |
-| `InvokeWithoutArgs(f)` | Invoke `f`, which can be a global/static function or a functor. `f` must take no arguments. |
-| `InvokeWithoutArgs(object_pointer, &class::method)` | Invoke the method on the object, which takes no arguments. |
-| `InvokeArgument<N>(arg1, arg2, ..., argk)` | Invoke the mock function's `N`-th (0-based) argument, which must be a function or a functor, with the `k` arguments. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-The return value of the invoked function is used as the return value of the
-action.
-
-When defining a callable to be used with `Invoke*()`, you can declare any unused
-parameters as `Unused`:
-
-```cpp
-using ::testing::Invoke;
-double Distance(Unused, double x, double y) { return sqrt(x*x + y*y); }
-...
-EXPECT_CALL(mock, Foo("Hi", _, _)).WillOnce(Invoke(Distance));
-```
-
-`Invoke(callback)` and `InvokeWithoutArgs(callback)` take ownership of
-`callback`, which must be permanent. The type of `callback` must be a base
-callback type instead of a derived one, e.g.
-
-```cpp
- BlockingClosure* done = new BlockingClosure;
- ... Invoke(done) ...; // This won't compile!
-
- Closure* done2 = new BlockingClosure;
- ... Invoke(done2) ...; // This works.
-```
-
-In `InvokeArgument<N>(...)`, if an argument needs to be passed by reference,
-wrap it inside `std::ref()`. For example,
-
-```cpp
-using ::testing::InvokeArgument;
-...
-InvokeArgument<2>(5, string("Hi"), std::ref(foo))
-```
-
-calls the mock function's #2 argument, passing to it `5` and `string("Hi")` by
-value, and `foo` by reference.
-
-### Default Action
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :------------ | :----------------------------------------------------- |
-| `DoDefault()` | Do the default action (specified by `ON_CALL()` or the built-in one). |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-**Note:** due to technical reasons, `DoDefault()` cannot be used inside a
-composite action - trying to do so will result in a run-time error.
-
-<!-- GOOGLETEST_CM0032 DO NOT DELETE -->
-
-### Composite Actions
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| | |
-| :----------------------------- | :------------------------------------------ |
-| `DoAll(a1, a2, ..., an)` | Do all actions `a1` to `an` and return the result of `an` in each invocation. The first `n - 1` sub-actions must return void and will receive a readonly view of the arguments. |
-| `IgnoreResult(a)` | Perform action `a` and ignore its result. `a` must not return void. |
-| `WithArg<N>(a)` | Pass the `N`-th (0-based) argument of the mock function to action `a` and perform it. |
-| `WithArgs<N1, N2, ..., Nk>(a)` | Pass the selected (0-based) arguments of the mock function to action `a` and perform it. |
-| `WithoutArgs(a)` | Perform action `a` without any arguments. |

-
-### Defining Actions
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| | |
-| :--------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------- |
-| `ACTION(Sum) { return arg0 + arg1; }` | Defines an action `Sum()` to return the sum of the mock function's argument #0 and #1. |
-| `ACTION_P(Plus, n) { return arg0 + n; }` | Defines an action `Plus(n)` to return the sum of the mock function's argument #0 and `n`. |
-| `ACTION_Pk(Foo, p1, ..., pk) { statements; }` | Defines a parameterized action `Foo(p1, ..., pk)` to execute the given `statements`. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
-
-The `ACTION*` macros cannot be used inside a function or class.
+See the [Actions Reference](reference/actions.md).
## Cardinalities {#CardinalityList}
-These are used in `Times()` to specify how many times a mock function will be
-called:
-
-<!-- mdformat off(no multiline tables) -->
-| | |
-| :---------------- | :----------------------------------------------------- |
-| `AnyNumber()` | The function can be called any number of times. |
-| `AtLeast(n)` | The call is expected at least `n` times. |
-| `AtMost(n)` | The call is expected at most `n` times. |
-| `Between(m, n)` | The call is expected between `m` and `n` (inclusive) times. |
-| `Exactly(n) or n` | The call is expected exactly `n` times. In particular, the call should never happen when `n` is 0. |
-<!-- mdformat on -->
+See the [`Times` clause](reference/mocking.md#EXPECT_CALL.Times) of
+`EXPECT_CALL` in the Mocking Reference.
## Expectation Order
-By default, the expectations can be matched in *any* order. If some or all
-expectations must be matched in a given order, there are two ways to specify it.
-They can be used either independently or together.
-
-### The After Clause {#AfterClause}
-
-```cpp
-using ::testing::Expectation;
-...
-Expectation init_x = EXPECT_CALL(foo, InitX());
-Expectation init_y = EXPECT_CALL(foo, InitY());
-EXPECT_CALL(foo, Bar())
- .After(init_x, init_y);
-```
-
-says that `Bar()` can be called only after both `InitX()` and `InitY()` have
-been called.
-
-If you don't know how many pre-requisites an expectation has when you write it,
-you can use an `ExpectationSet` to collect them:
-
-```cpp
-using ::testing::ExpectationSet;
-...
-ExpectationSet all_inits;
-for (int i = 0; i < element_count; i++) {
- all_inits += EXPECT_CALL(foo, InitElement(i));
-}
-EXPECT_CALL(foo, Bar())
- .After(all_inits);
-```
-
-says that `Bar()` can be called only after all elements have been initialized
-(but we don't care about which elements get initialized before the others).
-
-Modifying an `ExpectationSet` after using it in an `.After()` doesn't affect the
-meaning of the `.After()`.
-
-### Sequences {#UsingSequences}
-
-When you have a long chain of sequential expectations, it's easier to specify
-the order using **sequences**, which don't require you to given each expectation
-in the chain a different name. *All expected calls* in the same sequence must
-occur in the order they are specified.
-
-```cpp
-using ::testing::Return;
-using ::testing::Sequence;
-Sequence s1, s2;
-...
-EXPECT_CALL(foo, Reset())
- .InSequence(s1, s2)
- .WillOnce(Return(true));
-EXPECT_CALL(foo, GetSize())
- .InSequence(s1)
- .WillOnce(Return(1));
-EXPECT_CALL(foo, Describe(A<const char*>()))
- .InSequence(s2)
- .WillOnce(Return("dummy"));
-```
-
-says that `Reset()` must be called before *both* `GetSize()` *and* `Describe()`,
-and the latter two can occur in any order.
-
-To put many expectations in a sequence conveniently:
-
-```cpp
-using ::testing::InSequence;
-{
- InSequence seq;
-
- EXPECT_CALL(...)...;
- EXPECT_CALL(...)...;
- ...
- EXPECT_CALL(...)...;
-}
-```
-
-says that all expected calls in the scope of `seq` must occur in strict order.
-The name `seq` is irrelevant.
+By default, expectations can be matched in *any* order. If some or all
+expectations must be matched in a given order, you can use the
+[`After` clause](reference/mocking.md#EXPECT_CALL.After) or
+[`InSequence` clause](reference/mocking.md#EXPECT_CALL.InSequence) of
+`EXPECT_CALL`, or use an [`InSequence` object](reference/mocking.md#InSequence).
