    Mock const methods
Use MOCK_CONST_*
Mock constructor
Simply call base constructor with custom params
Mock private or protected methods
C++ allows redefining access level on subclasses, so mocks should have everything as PUBLIC
class Loler
{
private:
    virtual void lol();
}

class LolerMock
{
public:
    MOCK_METHOD0(lol, void());
}
Mock overloads
Simply define overload params in mock type
class Loler
{
private:
    virtual void lol();
    virtual void lol(int kek);
}

class LolerMock
{
public:
    MOCK_METHOD0(lol, void());
    MOCK_METHOD0(lol, void(int kek));
}
Mock CLASS templates
Append _T to the MOCK_ macro
template<typename T>
class X
{
public:
    virtual void hey();
}

template<typename T>
class XMock
{
public:
    MOCK_METHOD0_T(hey, void());
}
Types of Mocks
Default mock (simple inheritance)
Displays warning when any method not specified as EXPECT_CALL is called
NiceMock
Displays no warnings when some method not specified as EXPECT_CALL is called

Doesn't support nesting
StrictMock
Throws error when some method not specified as EXPECT_CALL is called

Doesn't support nesting
