## 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.

## Actions {#ActionList}
-**Actions** specify what a mock function should do when invoked.
-
-### Returning a Value
-
-| | |
-| :-------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------- |
-| `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. |
-
-### Side Effects
-
-| | |
-| :--------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------- |
-| `Assign(&variable, value)` | Assign `value` to variable. |
-| `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`. |
-| `SetArgReferee<N>(value)` | Assign `value` to the variable referenced by the `N`-th (0-based) argument. |
-| `SetArgPointee<N>(value)` | Assign `value` to the variable pointed by the `N`-th (0-based) argument. |
-| `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. |
-
-### Using a Function, Functor, or Lambda as an Action
-
-In the following, by "callable" we mean a free function, `std::function`,
-functor, or lambda.
-
-| | |
-| :---------------------------------- | :------------------------------------- |
-| `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. |
-
-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
-
-| Matcher | Description |
-| :------------ | :----------------------------------------------------- |
-| `DoDefault()` | Do the default action (specified by `ON_CALL()` or the built-in one). |
-
-{: .callout .note}
-**Note:** due to technical reasons, `DoDefault()` cannot be used inside a
-composite action - trying to do so will result in a run-time error.
-
-### Composite Actions
-
-| | |
-| :----------------------------- | :------------------------------------------ |
-| `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
-
-| | |
-| :--------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------- |
-| `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`. |
-
-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:
-
-| | |
-| :---------------- | :----------------------------------------------------- |
-| `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. |
+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 give 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).
