// Google Mock - a framework for writing C++ mock classes.
//
-// This file implements some commonly used argument matchers. More
+// The MATCHER* family of macros can be used in a namespace scope to
+// define custom matchers easily.
+//
+// Basic Usage
+// ===========
+//
+// The syntax
+//
+// MATCHER(name, description_string) { statements; }
+//
+// defines a matcher with the given name that executes the statements,
+// which must return a bool to indicate if the match succeeds. Inside
+// the statements, you can refer to the value being matched by 'arg',
+// and refer to its type by 'arg_type'.
+//
+// The description string documents what the matcher does, and is used
+// to generate the failure message when the match fails. Since a
+// MATCHER() is usually defined in a header file shared by multiple
+// C++ source files, we require the description to be a C-string
+// literal to avoid possible side effects. It can be empty, in which
+// case we'll use the sequence of words in the matcher name as the
+// description.
+//
+// For example:
+//
+// MATCHER(IsEven, "") { return (arg % 2) == 0; }
+//
+// allows you to write
+//
+// // Expects mock_foo.Bar(n) to be called where n is even.
+// EXPECT_CALL(mock_foo, Bar(IsEven()));
+//
+// or,
+//
+// // Verifies that the value of some_expression is even.
+// EXPECT_THAT(some_expression, IsEven());
+//
+// If the above assertion fails, it will print something like:
+//
+// Value of: some_expression
+// Expected: is even
+// Actual: 7
+//
+// where the description "is even" is automatically calculated from the
+// matcher name IsEven.
+//
+// Argument Type
+// =============
+//
+// Note that the type of the value being matched (arg_type) is
+// determined by the context in which you use the matcher and is
+// supplied to you by the compiler, so you don't need to worry about
+// declaring it (nor can you). This allows the matcher to be
+// polymorphic. For example, IsEven() can be used to match any type
+// where the value of "(arg % 2) == 0" can be implicitly converted to
+// a bool. In the "Bar(IsEven())" example above, if method Bar()
+// takes an int, 'arg_type' will be int; if it takes an unsigned long,
+// 'arg_type' will be unsigned long; and so on.
+//
+// Parameterizing Matchers
+// =======================
+//
+// Sometimes you'll want to parameterize the matcher. For that you
+// can use another macro:
+//
+// MATCHER_P(name, param_name, description_string) { statements; }
+//
+// For example:
+//
+// MATCHER_P(HasAbsoluteValue, value, "") { return abs(arg) == value; }
+//
+// will allow you to write:
+//
+// EXPECT_THAT(Blah("a"), HasAbsoluteValue(n));
+//
+// which may lead to this message (assuming n is 10):
+//
+// Value of: Blah("a")
+// Expected: has absolute value 10
+// Actual: -9
+//
+// Note that both the matcher description and its parameter are
+// printed, making the message human-friendly.
+//
+// In the matcher definition body, you can write 'foo_type' to
+// reference the type of a parameter named 'foo'. For example, in the
+// body of MATCHER_P(HasAbsoluteValue, value) above, you can write
+// 'value_type' to refer to the type of 'value'.
+//
+// We also provide MATCHER_P2, MATCHER_P3, ..., up to MATCHER_P$n to
+// support multi-parameter matchers.
+//
+// Describing Parameterized Matchers
+// =================================
+//
+// The last argument to MATCHER*() is a string-typed expression. The
+// expression can reference all of the matcher's parameters and a
+// special bool-typed variable named 'negation'. When 'negation' is
+// false, the expression should evaluate to the matcher's description;
+// otherwise it should evaluate to the description of the negation of
+// the matcher. For example,
+//
+// using testing::PrintToString;
+//
+// MATCHER_P2(InClosedRange, low, hi,
+// std::string(negation ? "is not" : "is") + " in range [" +
+// PrintToString(low) + ", " + PrintToString(hi) + "]") {
+// return low <= arg && arg <= hi;
+// }
+// ...
+// EXPECT_THAT(3, InClosedRange(4, 6));
+// EXPECT_THAT(3, Not(InClosedRange(2, 4)));
+//
+// would generate two failures that contain the text:
+//
+// Expected: is in range [4, 6]
+// ...
+// Expected: is not in range [2, 4]
+//
+// If you specify "" as the description, the failure message will
+// contain the sequence of words in the matcher name followed by the
+// parameter values printed as a tuple. For example,
+//
+// MATCHER_P2(InClosedRange, low, hi, "") { ... }
+// ...
+// EXPECT_THAT(3, InClosedRange(4, 6));
+// EXPECT_THAT(3, Not(InClosedRange(2, 4)));
+//
+// would generate two failures that contain the text:
+//
+// Expected: in closed range (4, 6)
+// ...
+// Expected: not (in closed range (2, 4))
+//
+// Types of Matcher Parameters
+// ===========================
+//
+// For the purpose of typing, you can view
+//
+// MATCHER_Pk(Foo, p1, ..., pk, description_string) { ... }
+//
+// as shorthand for
+//
+// template <typename p1_type, ..., typename pk_type>
+// FooMatcherPk<p1_type, ..., pk_type>
+// Foo(p1_type p1, ..., pk_type pk) { ... }
+//
+// When you write Foo(v1, ..., vk), the compiler infers the types of
+// the parameters v1, ..., and vk for you. If you are not happy with
+// the result of the type inference, you can specify the types by
+// explicitly instantiating the template, as in Foo<long, bool>(5,
+// false). As said earlier, you don't get to (or need to) specify
+// 'arg_type' as that's determined by the context in which the matcher
+// is used. You can assign the result of expression Foo(p1, ..., pk)
+// to a variable of type FooMatcherPk<p1_type, ..., pk_type>. This
+// can be useful when composing matchers.
+//
+// While you can instantiate a matcher template with reference types,
+// passing the parameters by pointer usually makes your code more
+// readable. If, however, you still want to pass a parameter by
+// reference, be aware that in the failure message generated by the
+// matcher you will see the value of the referenced object but not its
+// address.
+//
+// Explaining Match Results
+// ========================
+//
+// Sometimes the matcher description alone isn't enough to explain why
+// the match has failed or succeeded. For example, when expecting a
+// long string, it can be very helpful to also print the diff between
+// the expected string and the actual one. To achieve that, you can
+// optionally stream additional information to a special variable
+// named result_listener, whose type is a pointer to class
+// MatchResultListener:
+//
+// MATCHER_P(EqualsLongString, str, "") {
+// if (arg == str) return true;
+//
+// *result_listener << "the difference: "
+/// << DiffStrings(str, arg);
+// return false;
+// }
+//
+// Overloading Matchers
+// ====================
+//
+// You can overload matchers with different numbers of parameters:
+//
+// MATCHER_P(Blah, a, description_string1) { ... }
+// MATCHER_P2(Blah, a, b, description_string2) { ... }
+//
+// Caveats
+// =======
+//
+// When defining a new matcher, you should also consider implementing
+// MatcherInterface or using MakePolymorphicMatcher(). These
+// approaches require more work than the MATCHER* macros, but also
+// give you more control on the types of the value being matched and
+// the matcher parameters, which may leads to better compiler error
+// messages when the matcher is used wrong. They also allow
+// overloading matchers based on parameter types (as opposed to just
+// based on the number of parameters).
+//
+// MATCHER*() can only be used in a namespace scope as templates cannot be
+// declared inside of a local class.
+//
+// More Information
+// ================

+//
+// This file also implements some commonly used argument matchers. More
// matchers can be defined by the user implementing the
// MatcherInterface<T> interface if necessary.
